Question
Recent reports in newspapers often highlight the growing prevalence of precocious puberty. What should parents be attentive to in their daily lives to avoid their children experiencing precocious puberty?
Answer
Precocious puberty is a sexual development abnormality characterized by the early onset of sexual maturity, often related to daily diet, the use of health supplements, and environmental influences. Parents should avoid feeding their children meat and fruits and vegetables that contain growth promoters and rapid growth agents. They should not overly rely on health supplements, as the nutrition in daily food is sufficient to meet human needs. Additionally, parents should reduce their children’s exposure to media content related to sexual development, such as newspapers, television, and the internet. These suggestions aim to help parents understand how to prevent precocious puberty in children and promote healthy growth.
