Question

My son is two years old and only 76cm tall, shorter than his peers. He eats a lot but doesn’t seem to grow taller. His intelligence and other aspects are normal. His father is 170cm tall and I am 159cm tall. Experts, what methods can help him grow taller? I’m in a hurry!

Answer

Hello, your child’s height is slightly below average at two years old, but there’s no need to worry excessively. Children’s growth rates vary at each stage from birth to adolescence. I suggest ensuring your child consumes enough nutrition daily, including foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals such as milk, spinach, pork liver, and oranges. Additionally, moderate exercise can also aid in growth, such as jumping rope or playing basketball. Please pay attention to balanced nutrition and appropriate exercise; your child’s height will gradually catch up.
