Introduction
I don’t know if parents have such a situation. There are still quite a few mothers around me who have such a situation, that is, the height and weight of their children will not be compared with children who are shorter and thinner than their children, but often with children. Compared with children who are taller than children and fatter than children, and then worry about why their children are so thin and short, is the child really thin? Or is it just parental anxiety? Is there a solution for small children? Next, let’s talk together.
Parents worried about children being thin
First:
The problem of thinness and smallness of parents’ anxious children is actually mostly a result of comparison. As mentioned above, in general, parents do not compare with shorter children, but prefer to compare with tall children. After the comparison It’s not that the comparison is over, but why all kinds of anxious children are so thin.
Second: As parents, we need to adjust our mentality, which is fine, but we don’t

Parents worried about children being thin
First: The problem of thinness and smallness of parents’ anxious children is actually mostly a result of comparison. As mentioned above, in general, parents do not compare with shorter children, but prefer to compare with tall children. After the comparison It’s not that the comparison is over, but why all kinds of anxious children are so thin.
Second: As parents, we need to adjust our mentality, which is fine, but we don’t need anxiety, because each child’s growth trajectory is different. We only need to compare with the child’s previous growth data, which is reasonable. Some Children grow 5 centimeters a year, and some children grow 7 centimeters a year. Of course, there will be differences in those few years, so we can’t compare them like this.
Third: There are genetic factors in the child’s thinness. The parents seem to be okay now, but it does not mean that they grew up like this when they were young. Do you remember what they paid for their height and weight?
small child
First: This is not our judgment. It is best to leave it to a professional doctor to judge. The real thin child is a condition of developmental delay, which requires some intervention.
Second: small children do not mean really thin, we don’t need to care too much about growing within a reasonable range. For example, children are all in the ranks of health care, and every time they are down, this is also a normal situation , if it is worse than the next, then consider whether intervention is required.
Third: If the child is originally middle, and the second time becomes middle and lower, we don’t need to be too nervous. Maybe next time, we will come up, or we can’t catch up. It’s fine. We should provide the child with reasonable nutritional supplements, slow down. Slowly it will improve.
The child is really thin, what should I do?
First: follow the doctor’s advice. Some children are thin because of excessive lead, which is what we call lead poisoning. Some children are anemia, some children are due to diseases, or thalassemia, etc. The height and weight are really different from those of the same age. We take medicine, physical therapy, conditioning and so on according to the doctor’s instructions.
Second: If the situation is not too serious, we can give the child some nutritional supplements, such as calcium tablets, supplemental iron, zinc, vitamins, etc., which will contribute to the growth of height and weight.All in all, we should not be too anxious in private, but should have data to support it, and then adjust it later. This will be relatively more targeted and can play a role relatively quickly. For children, it is the most beneficial. It is not just anxiety, but there is nothing I can do. I hope it can play a certain role in parents and relieve their anxiety to a certain extent.
Third: You also need to pay attention to the child’s digestion to prevent the child from accumulating food.
