Question
How can we treat precocious puberty and help a child grow taller? The child’s height is only 130 cm, and we are worried that precocious puberty will affect further growth and development. What should we do?
Answer
Children with precocious puberty can promote growth through exercises that increase height, such as pull-ups, basketball, and high jump. Girls can try skipping rope. Additionally, since precocious puberty may have an impact on a child’s psychology, parents should help maintain a positive attitude and reduce anxiety. During times of heavy academic burden, children should take adequate breaks to avoid sitting for long periods that could hinder growth. Malnutrition can also lead to precocious puberty, so it is important to ensure that children receive balanced nutrition and do not have a preference for certain foods.
