After the family has a child, parents will begin to worry about it, always worry about this worry that, especially worry about the child does not grow tall, from time to time to measure the child's height, afraid of lagging, do not know your family often so?

Children grow tall or not, in addition to genetic inheritance, there are also acquired factors, which many parents know, but how do seize the opportunity to help children grow taller? Most parents think that as long as children eat more often if you also think so you are wrong, and it is easy to harm the child.

Dine

A friend of mine's child is six years old this year, in the kindergarten and primary classes, in the whole class of children, the child's size favored, this friend is very distressed, often said that the child eats quite a lot every meal, how can not grow taller it, worried about the child's mother. Once I took the child to a friend's house to play, the friend's children happen to be eating and found that the child is indeed very able to eat, but I have seen the child eat the meal and found the problem, it is the child eat more than the reason for not growing taller, the amount is enough, but also beyond the quality is not up to standard, the ingredients in the meal are very little, low nutrition, no help to child development, just eat the stomach is not hungry.

Children eat a lot but do not grow, what is going on? If you also have this question, parents should promptly introspect, there are 2 reasons, do not make the same mistake again!

The first point: self-reflection on whether there is specified by the child's preferences to cook

Many parents have such a situation, found that children love to eat what to do, what do not love to eat do not do, so specifically by the preferences of the child to cook, prone to nutritional imbalance, not good for the growth of children. For example, children who love meat do not love leafy greens, and parents will avoid leafy greens, specifically for children to do meat to eat, although meat also contains a variety of nutrients or more highly nutritious ingredients, long-term meat does not eat leafy greens, there is damage to the body, leafy greens contain dietary fiber, vitamin C and other nutrients, if eating less, the child's digestion will have problems.

So parents do not how to do it again, timely correction is good, such as if children do not love to eat broccoli, then do not fry a large piece, instead of making rice balls, cut small and mixed with rice, but also with eggs, fried into a thick egg burn, many ways, do not limit to only do fried broccoli this one, or children certainly do not love to eat.

The second point: is self-reflection to see if there is only their way to cook

Everyone has their eating habits from childhood to adulthood, for example, some people don't like celery from childhood and still don't like it when they grow up, so when they cook for their families, they still won't use celery, so their children won't be able to eat celery, and often this will make their children think that celery is not good.

Each ingredient has its nutritional value, and cooking for children should be diversified ingredients, each kind of child to eat, to achieve balanced nutrition, will not cause a nutritional deficiency, or a nutritional surplus. So parents should check themselves and stop cooking according to their preferences and ways, and should think more about their children.

Do the above two points, the child's daily intake of adequate nutrition can promote growth and development, and will be able to grow.

In addition to wanting your child to grow taller, in addition to paying more attention to diet, you should also provide your child with a good sleep environment, so that he sleeps well every day, but also take your child outdoors more often, run a bubble, jump. From these aspects, children have a greater chance of growing taller, parents act quickly, and spring is the season to grow taller, do not miss out.
