How to judge whether a child is stunted? How can we help children grow taller?

The method to judge whether a child's height is stunted: 1. According to the child's age and sex, calculate his/her height percentile. Height percentile refers to the percentage of children of the same age and sex who are the same as or higher than their children. If the child's height percentage is less than 5%, it may belong to height retardation.

2. According to the child's growth curve, observe the change of the child's height. If the child's height curve is always lower than the average or standard deviation of children of the same age and sex, it may belong to height retardation.

Solutions to height retardation:

1. Nutritional supplement: provide children with an adequate and balanced diet, increase the intake of nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals, and promote physical development. Exercise: Proper exercise can promote the growth and development of bones and muscles and enhance children's physique.

2. Psychological counseling: Parents should give full care and support to children with stunted height, avoid excessive anxiety and stress, and build their self-confidence.

3. Medical consultation: If the child is seriously stunted, parents can take the child to the hospital for examination and consultation, and seek advice and treatment plans from professional doctors.

It should be noted that height retardation may be caused by many reasons, such as congenital inheritance, malnutrition, chronic diseases, side effects of drugs and so on. Therefore, targeted treatment measures should be taken according to the specific situation.

In addition, parents should pay attention to scientific and reasonable methods when helping their children to solve the problem of height retardation, and avoid blindly using drugs or other bad ways to promote their physical development.
