Question
My son is five years old, but his growth seems to be slower than other children of the same age, with a height only about 3/4 of theirs. I would like to know what possible reasons there could be?
Answer
Possible reasons for slow growth in children include genetics, diet, sleep, and potential underlying diseases. It is recommended that parents ensure their child has a balanced diet, appropriate nutritional supplements, adequate sleep, and a relaxed emotional state, all of which can help promote the child’s growth and development.
