Question
A ten and a half-year-old girl, 140 cm tall, weighing 40 kilograms, with a slightly chubby build. She has recently experienced an increase in height but shows no interest in vegetables. Parents are worried if this situation is indicative of precocious puberty and are concerned about the child’s future height development.
Answer
Hello, thank you for your question. Under the current circumstances, it is recommended to strengthen dietary control and increase physical activity. According to the description, the child should not have any issues related to precocious puberty. Growth, especially at this age, naturally tends to be slower, which is not related to precocious puberty. Generally speaking, the rate of height increase for children at this age is normal.
