It is known that many great people were short. Napoleon Bonaparte, Edith Piaf, Charlotte Bronte, Yury Gagarin, Pablo Picasso, Alexander Pushkin - all of them became famous thanks to the talent, and small growth did not become it a hindrance. Despite this, most of parents worries if their child lags behind peers.
Instruction
1. If it seems to you that the child stopped in growth, it is not necessary to panic. For a start sort out that was the reason of it. The first factor to which it is necessary to pay attention is an age of the child. It is necessary to know that children grow unevenly, alternating the periods of "extension" and "rounding". During the periods of intensive growth (the first year of life, 4-5 years, pubertal) when all bodies and systems work with the increased tension, the child is extended quicker. During the periods of "rounding" the growth rate decreases, internals develop. Within a year the formation of children can also be spasmodic. At many of them during the spring and summer period growth accelerates, and in autumn and winter - stops.
2. Also large role in a growth inhibition is played by genetic factors. Low parents are hardly worth waiting for the child giant. Besides, the constitutional growth inhibition when to certain age the child lags behind peers meets, but further catches up or even overtakes them. Consult to relatives. There can be a growth inhibition in certain age it is peculiarof to children in your family?
3. But it happens sometimes, as at high parents the child costs to the last in a rank. In this case improper feeding, the shortage of the movement and fresh air can be guilty. More strictly control a diet, you watch that it was sufficient and full. Do not allow the child to eat hurriedly and with no drink, limit the use of "empty" products, like sweets, chips and croutons. Replace them with fruit better (dry and fresh) and nuts. Remember that the lack of proteins, vitamins and other nutrients causes a growth inhibition. Also the child for normal development needs to be daily in the fresh air, to move much. Analyze a day regimen of the child, pay attention whether he sits the whole day at the TV and the computer in one pose. Organize daily walks far from gas-polluted routes. You carry the child in the summer to bathe in open reservoirs, in the winter - to skate also skis. If there is no opportunity to independently increase physical activity of the kid, send him to sports section. Only refrain from the sports which are slowing down growth (weightlifting, gymnastics, acrobatics).
4. The most unpleasant reason that the child badly grows is, of course, the state of health. Violations of work of endocrine glands, a brain, patrimonial injuries, pre-natal pathologies, chronic diseases can be guilty of it. Surely in time you undergo inspections at experts, make all tests. You remember, the any deviation will come to light earlier, the it is easier to treat it.
