For growing children, parents should record how much their children have grown each year. Slow growth is often one of the early signs of childhood diseases. Parents are advised to measure their children's height every three months. After 3 years old, the annual growth height is less than 5cm, so you need to see a doctor.
Children with precocious puberty or precocious puberty will be accompanied by early bone age, which may lead to the phenomenon of "tall children" and "short adults" in reality. Many children are taller than their peers in primary school, and parents never thought that their children would have height problems. However, in junior high school or senior high school, the growth rate of children is gradually decreasing, and the queue in the class is getting higher and higher. If you had come to see a doctor at that time, the child's epiphysis might have been closed or nearly closed.
Extended data
Age is a kind of "timer" in the process of growth and development, and bone age is a reliable objective index to measure the process of growth and development. Generally speaking, if the girl's bone age is over 15 years old and the boy's bone age is over 17 years old, most of his epiphyses are closed at this time, and the chance of growing taller is very small.
Therefore, the earlier you know about epiphyseal closure and intervene, the better the intervention and treatment for children. As long as the treatment is timely, children can generally have a normal height. The height of children has always been the theme of children's growth and development. If the child is short or slow-growing, it may be genetic factors or diseases.
