The height is really the heart disease of countless parents. Especially those parents who do not have the advantage of height on both sides are more worried that their children will not grow as tall as themselves.

For girls, although there is no need to grow to more than 180 like boys, but too short will also affect the appearance and temperament.

You must know that 70% of height depends on your parents' genes, and only 30% can rely on acquired changes. Therefore, to make children grow taller in a limited time has become the goal of many parents.

But when will children grow taller?

Generally, men will grow up to 18-20 years old, while women will postpone their growth for two years until they stop growing at 18-22 years old.

However, this is only an average value and is used as a reference. Obviously, each child's own situation is different, and it is impossible for the girl's height to come to an abrupt end when she is just past 22 years old.

In fact, girls’ height growth will go through two stages:

• One is the period of rapid height increase, during which the height of girls will increase faster.
• One is the period of slow height growth. Although the height is still increasing at this stage, the speed is very slow, and the growth rate will gradually become zero.

There is a critical point between the period of rapid height increase and the period of slow height increase. After this critical point, girls have basically reached a period of slow growth in height. This critical point is-menarche.

Menarche is a sign of the initial development of girls, and it also signifies that the skeletal line is slowly closing. Generally speaking, the age of a girl's menarche is between 11-12 years old. Some girls may be later or earlier.

However, once they have menarche, it means that the growth trend of height will slowly drop. If you are still dissatisfied with your current height, you need to hurry up and work harder.

In addition to this most obvious signal, there are some signals that can indicate that the child's height is entering a period of slow growth.

Sleep time becomes shorter

During the rapid growth phase, the body needs to secrete a large amount of growth hormone due to the needs of growing the body. Sufficient sleep is needed at this time, usually about 10 hours is the best.

When the growth rate of the child's height slows down, the demand for growth hormone will not be so great, and the natural sleep time will also decrease. Maybe I could sleep for ten hours a night without waking up, but now I wake up naturally after sleeping for 8 hours.

Calf muscles harden

In fact, the development of human muscles and bones is similar. Comparing the calf muscles of adults with those of children, you will find that the latter is much softer.

Therefore, if you find that your daughter's calf muscles are beginning to harden, and the arc becomes more and more obvious, it also shows that her height is about to enter a period of flattening, or even about to stop.

If you want your daughter to grow taller, in fact, you should grasp the period of height increase before menarche.

At that stage, pay attention to nutritional supplements, have enough sleep and do more outdoor sports. The most important thing is not to overeating to allow the body to develop horizontally. Then the possibility of height becoming ideal will be greatly increased.
In addition, the problem of calcium deficiency needs to be checked in the hospital before a decision can be made. Parents don't need to "prescribe the right medicine" for their children, and they will desperately supplement their children with calcium, so as to avoid excessive calcium supplements and adversely affect the body!
