The health of children has always been a top concern for parents. For example, whether the child is healthy, whether their growth weight and height have reached the average of their peers, and whether they make various nutritional soups for their children every day may cause premature development. So, do children who develop early nowadays necessarily not grow taller? This is the question that this article will answer.
Does early development necessarily mean growth
A person's youth development should have a relatively fixed age. If the bone age is advanced due to premature development, although the child is growing faster now, the epiphyseal plate of the child will close prematurely and no longer grow.
And some children may have delayed puberty, which is a type of delayed puberty, known as physical delayed puberty, usually with a family history. Boys over 14 years old and girls over 13.5 years old have no signs of puberty.
Some parents have a one-sided view that their children's short stature is just a sign of delayed development, it's okay. Adolescent children all have a period of rapid growth, but everyone's height during puberty is different. If the child is of normal height, the ideal final height is achieved through rapid growth during puberty. But if a child is much shorter than their peers, even during adolescence, they may still not reach their ideal height.
Reasons for not growing tall
1. Familial dwarfism (i.e. parents who are shorter in height).
2. At birth, there is intrauterine growth retardation (full-term small sample), and premature infants have a height smaller than normal newborns. Among them, 10% -15% of children cannot catch up with the normal height curve after the age of 2.
3. Before puberty, they grow less than 5 centimeters in height each year, are shorter than their peers, and are obese.
4. Premature or delayed sexual development, combined with a history of breech presentation, difficult labor, birth asphyxia, traumatic brain injury, and slow growth.
5. Children who have taken or long-term use of height increasing drugs, immune enhancing drugs, glucocorticoids, and kidney tonifying and qi tonifying Chinese herbal medicines may experience symptoms such as rapid sexual development and premature growth spurt.
The above is the answer to the question of whether early development necessarily leads to height growth. We hope it can be helpful to readers. Everyone's physique is different, so the period of development is also different. How tall a person can grow is largely influenced by genetics. Early development of children does not necessarily mean that they will not grow tall. Parents only need to pay attention to balanced diet and care for their children, and they will be healthy.
