Concerned about your child’s height? 🧒🏽📈 Many parents worry when they notice their child isn’t growing as fast as their peers.
Dr. Vaishnavi Agrawal, Pediatric Endocrinologist at Choithram Hospital, breaks down the 3 main pillars of healthy growth and when it might be time to seek a specialist’s advice:
🥦 1. Balanced Nutrition: Are they getting enough Protein, Vitamin D, and Calcium?
😴 2. Quality Sleep: 8 hours of undisturbed sleep is crucial, as growth hormones are most active during rest.
🧘🏽 3. Targeted Exercise: 15–30 minutes of yoga poses like Tadasana or Surya Namaskar can help stretch and strengthen muscles.
⚠️ Watch out for the Red Flags: If your child is the shortest in their class, hasn’t grown in a while, or had a low birth weight (under 2.5 kg), it might be time for a hormonal evaluation.
