A. If your kids are not growing in height as expected, here are some important factors to consider and steps you can take: 1. Balanced Nutrition Height growth largely depends on a nutritious diet. Make sure your children are getting: Protein-rich foods: eggs, milk, pulses, paneer, chicken, tofu Calcium and Vitamin D: dairy products, leafy greens, sunlight exposure Zinc and iron: nuts, seeds, lentils, meat Whole grains and fruits 2. Proper Sleep Kids need 9–11 hours of sleep (depending on age) as growth hormone is released during sleep. 3. Physical Activity Encourage: Outdoor play Stretching exercises Swimming, jumping, skipping, running Regular physical activity supports overall growth. 4. Avoid Junk Food Excess sugar, soft drinks, and processed food can affect metabolism and growth. 5. Regular Checkups Make sure there are no underlying medical or hormonal issues like growth hormone deficiency, thyroid problems, or nutritional deficiencies. Track their growth on a growth chart (available from WHO or IAP standards). If the height is significantly below average for age, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or endocrinologist for a growth evaluation. Would you like help comparing their height to standard growth charts?
