Question
My child is 8 years old but is much shorter than his peers. I’m worried about his growth and want to know what methods can help him grow taller?
Answer
The average height for an 8-year-old child should be around 115 centimeters, and the weight should be approximately 23 kilograms. If your child meets this standard range, it is recommended not to overindulge and avoid giving him high-calorie foods, as well as snacks and drinks. Establish a regular and quantitative eating habit, ensure your child gets adequate exercise daily, and eat more protein- and vitamin-rich foods. Avoid picky eating and maintain good bowel habits.
