Question
How can I treat precocious puberty and help my child grow taller? He is only 130 cm tall, and I’m worried he won’t grow much taller after puberty.
Answer
Children with precocious puberty can engage in various sports that are beneficial for height growth in their daily lives, such as pull-ups, basketball, and high jump. Girls can try skipping rope. Additionally, some children with precocious puberty may feel psychological shadows, so parents should help maintain a stable mindset for their children and avoid excessive anxiety. It is often during the later years of elementary school that children are most susceptible to precocious puberty. At this time, academic pressure is high, and prolonged sitting can affect muscle stretching, thereby impacting height. It is recommended that even with a heavy workload, children should still take regular breaks to move around. Moreover, insufficient nutrition intake may also lead to precocious puberty. It is suggested that children eat more vegetables and consume a variety of proteins on a regular basis and avoid fad diets.
