Question
What should I do about my child’s short stature, with the father being about 160 cm and the mother around 155 cm, could it be hereditary from the grandparents?
Answer
Some people mature in growth late, with a sudden increase in height during junior or high school, so don’t worry too much. You can drink more milk and soy milk, eat some beef and eggs appropriately. Additionally, participating in sports training regularly, especially basketball, can help grow taller by naturally stretching the spine. Sufficient physical activity can stabilize the blood supply to the bones, enhancing bone density. This is what makes it possible to increase height. Besides that, make sure your child sleeps before 9 pm every day because growth hormone is released more during deep sleep around 11 pm.
