Why are children of the same age so different in height?

Many children are obviously the same age, but one is taller and the other is shorter. There is a big height gap. This has a lot to do with genes, living habits and eating habits. 01. Genes are a very important reason for the height difference

? You will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans? This saying is not unreasonable. When it comes to height, genes are really a very important factor. Those tall children around us usually have very tall parents; and those children who are shorter than their peers usually have parents who are not very tall either. Therefore, it has to be said that genes really determine half of a child's height. There is no solution to this problem. If parents are not tall but want their children to be taller, they need to change it in other ways. Genes are a flaw. 02. Height is also related to children’s living habits during their developmental stages

Good living habits can help children grow taller. As we all know, staying up late is harmful to physical health. This bad habit is even more harmful to children who are in the growth and development stage. Children's pituitary gland secretes growth hormone that allows them to grow when they are in deep sleep. If they stay up late, their growth hormone will not be secreted enough, causing them to be shorter than their peers.

Because only if the growth hormone is continuously secreted can the child continue to grow taller. Once it stops secreting, the child will stop growing. If you want your child to grow taller, it is best to let him go to bed at 8:30 in the evening. This is of great benefit to the secretion of growth hormone and does not miss its peak secretion period. 03. Eating habits affect a person’s life

During the growth and development stage of children, diet is a very important aspect. A good eating habit will help a child grow taller, while a bad eating habit may even cause a child to stop growing and developing, causing it to stop growing before it reaches the average level and be shorter than its peers.

With the improvement of living standards, many parents continue to feed their children various supplements and delicacies because they did not have enough to eat when they were young and do not want their children to suffer. In fact, this will lead to overnutrition and premature development of the child, and will also affect the child's height. Therefore, if you want your children to grow taller, you must pay more attention to nutrition, eat a balanced diet, and drink more milk.

Therefore, the height gap between children not only has internal factors, but also external factors. Since internal factors cannot be changed, it is better to manage the external factors that affect children, such as diet and living habits.
