Question
Is a 5-year-old child’s height of 158 cm normal?
Answer
A child’s height is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While parents’ genes do affect a portion of a child’s height, environmental factors such as diet and exercise also play a significant role. By improving diet, balancing nutrition, and consuming more protein from sources like milk, eggs, lean meat, and fish, as well as engaging in activities like skipping rope and basketball, and appropriate sun exposure, one can help the child reach their maximum potential height. With consistent effort, satisfactory results can be achieved. Thank you for your inquiry, and I hope the above information is helpful to you.
