The factors that influence the height in the later period are more diversified, such as nutrition, sports, environment, living habits, ethnicity, and so on. Therefore, the child’s developmental assistance at the later stage will be particularly important. Try pushing the growth a bit.
Scientific assessment, early intervention
The height of the child is inseparable from the management of parents and science. Early assessment and early intervention are required. Experts say that the “three-year-old height” statement has some truth to it. In people’s lives, the most important peak period for growth is the first year after birth. At this stage, the most critical indicator is to look at the development of the skeleton. Before one year of age, the baby’s annual bone turnover rate was 100%, so the demand for calcium is very strong, and it needs a lot of calcium to contribute to the body. Obtaining sufficient calcium during infancy and childhood not only keeps your baby healthy but also prevents or delays osteoporosis in older age.
Food treasure book, nutritional balance

The first is protein, protein-rich foods include fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts, soy products, etc. followed by calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, foods rich in calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, including milk, shrimp, Soybean products, pork ribs, bone soup, kelp, seaweed, etc. The third is trace elements, in which zinc not only helps to grow taller but also helps maintain normal taste and appetite. Zinc-rich foods are seafood products such as oysters and squid. They are followed by liver, meat, eggs, whole wheat, brown rice, soybeans, peanuts, cabbage, radish, etc.
Appropriate exercise, do more with less

Get a proper amount of sleep
Adequate sleep is necessary for a child’s growth. This is because growth hormones reach a peak of secretion when the child is asleep at night. He or she should lie down at night and let the lower limbs relax so that the bones can be fully rested. It is recommended that children should go to sleep before 10 o’clock every night, and keep 8-9 hours of sleep time. In the summer, they should take a nap for at least half an hour.
