Question
Why might an eight-year-old child’s height growth seem to be lagging behind their peers?
Answer
To promote normal growth in children, it is first important to ensure adequate deep sleep, as during deep sleep, the body secretes a large amount of growth hormones, particularly those related to bone growth. Secondly, attention should be paid to nutrition intake, especially consuming foods rich in calcium like milk, as insufficient calcium can affect normal bone development. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activities and moderate exercise, such as jumping exercises, can also help promote height growth.
