Question
Don’t girls stop growing much after they start their period? At 11 years old and 1.43 meters tall, how much more can she grow? Her father is 1.72 meters tall and her mother is 1.57 meters tall. All trace elements checked were normal.
Answer
Girls continue to grow after menarche, but their growth potential is affected by various factors, including genetics, nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Ensuring adequate and balanced nutrition is crucial. Engaging in physical activities such as running can help stimulate bone growth, and good rest and deep sleep also aid in growth during the developmental period.
