What are the signs that a boy is not growing taller?

Generally speaking, although human height is determined by genetic factors, acquired nutrition and exercise are also very important. Whether a person grows taller or not is determined by bone age. The appearance of some physical symptoms does not mean that he will not grow taller. If a boy suddenly stops growing, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and then treat the symptoms. It must be taken seriously.

The key period that affects boys' height

1. 1 year old.

Parents may not notice it because they have to see their children every day and do not see that much change. But if you are an outsider, you can easily see that the child has grown up. When a child is less than one year old, he or she changes every day. From the very beginning, there are wrinkles on the face. As time goes by, the child's skin is getting better and better. As for clothes and shoes, they are also changed more frequently because the child grows too fast. It is not recommended to buy too many clothes for children at this age, because first of all, comfort is important at this age. In addition, children grow fast, and some clothes are too small before they are even worn, so there is no need to spend too much money.

Children of this age grow fast in height, so you must pay attention to their diet. When the baby is about six months old, you can add complementary food to them, and you must pay attention to nutritional balance at this time. And as a parent, you must set a good example and not be picky about food, otherwise the child will follow suit.

2. Four to six years old.

If your child does not grow before the age of three, parents should not be too anxious. It may be that the child is developing slowly. As long as the child is not obviously not growing, there is no need to be too nervous. You can take your child to the hospital for regular check-ups to see if there are any trace elements missing. When the child is about four years old, there will be some changes in height. At this time, even if it is affected by genetic factors, it should be manifested, and the child may be taller than his peers.

Children at this age are already able to do some exercise independently. You can take them out for exercise and sunbathing to help absorb calcium. The family environment is also important. Being in a harmonious environment also has a great impact on the height of children. In addition, during this period, you can supplement your child with nutrition and pay attention to nutritional balance. And you must let your child develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Go to bed around 9:30 in the evening, which will help the secretion of growth hormone and promote the growth of children.

3. Adolescence from twelve to seventeen years old.

Puberty is a period of great change for children. The child's voice will also change, and he will begin to become a big child. His appearance and body will also change greatly. Generally speaking, girls develop earlier than boys and are more mature mentally than boys. This age group is a critical period for growth. Girls start to grow fastest at about 12 years old, while boys grow fastest at 16 years old.

During these periods, children are in middle school and high school and their studies are very demanding. Many children may even live on campus. If parents have time, they can pick up their children and have a good meal. They can also consider giving them extra meals when they come home. In addition, children are under great academic pressure and may be under great psychological pressure. It is important to release their pressure and not make them too tired or put pressure on them. You can also take your children to play basketball, swim, run, etc.

Parents must not miss these three age stages of children's growth. When children show obvious growth in height, such as eating more and their feet starting to grow bigger, parents must promptly supplement their children with nutrition and trace elements, and take their children to exercise.
