What should I do if my child is stunted?

If the child is stunted, parents need to supplement nutrition and exercise outdoors. The above reasons may be due to protein in the body, or too little intake of trace elements. Parents can observe that children's intellectual development and physical development, such as reaction ability, practical ability, height and so on, are slower than their peers, which is a case of developmental retardation.

When you are not sure what causes the child's developmental delay, you can take the child to the hospital pediatrics to measure trace elements to see if it is due to insufficient calcium intake. Usually, you can give your child milk, bone soup or other nutritious soup, which can effectively help your child digest and absorb and supplement the nutrition in the body. In addition, allowing children to participate in outdoor sports and ensure the quality of sleep can indirectly promote their growth and development, and supplementing appropriate DHA is also an important way to promote their development. Child stunting is a broad term, not a specific diagnosis. It can be manifested as slow height and weight, mental retardation or slow motor function. The causes of different developmental delays are different, and the corresponding treatment methods will be very different. For example, the child's height and weight are stunted, and the cause of the child can be found accordingly.

In this way, most children may be related to feeding. At this time, their diet and feeding situation can be adjusted appropriately to improve the child's growth retardation. There are also some children who are not simply feeding problems and may be related to diseases. For example, some children have endocrine disorders, and their height and weight may not meet the standard or exceed the standard. At this time, it is necessary to go through relevant symptomatic examination, clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.

Of course, there are also intellectual and motor obstacles, which are often accompanied. Some are congenital factors, some are acquired factors. At this time, head examination, nervous system examination and some genetic metabolism examination may be needed. If the cause is found, appropriate intervention can be carried out to alleviate the child's mental and sports development obstacles, and some exercise and rehabilitation can be carried out appropriately, which may be alleviated.
