[The following is a review left by readers who have read "Raising My Child's Height, Raising It As Much As You Know".]

I read it through the Ridibooks app on my smartphone, and the advantage of e-books is that they are portable and you don't have to carry them around like heavy books, so it's good to be able to read them on the subway or anywhere else in your spare time. I was a little worried that my eyes would hurt, but it was comfortable, and I could adjust the brightness and font size, and I liked that I could just capture pages with my favorite passages.

These days, they do growth plate tests for children, and even if the growth plates are still open, they get a lot of growth hormone injections if they have precocious puberty or are too short. If you go before you turn 9 or a certain age, insurance applies, but if you miss the timing and go late, insurance doesn't apply, so you have to spend close to 10 million won a year.

This book presents various types of reasons why height does not grow, as well as injections, diet, exercise, and even surgery such as Ilizarov, as well as the causes or solutions (?) for pathologically short height.

I think it's a good book for parents whose children are in kindergarten to prepare in advance.

What's impressive is that parents are very worried about heights in the 150s these days,

In the case of men, I sympathized a lot with the fact that parents are even more concerned about it..

I thought the reason why you shouldn't eat sweets like chocolates, cookies, and ice cream was because they make you fat and rot your teeth, but I didn't know that if you become obese, you don't grow well either, so I thought it was related to height, so I shouldn't give my baby junk food carelessly.

Coffee, black tea, caffeine, cigarettes, and alcohol are really bad, I think. Since they directly affect you, I thought that if I persuaded my child about height, rather than just not going down a bad path, would it have good results?

On the contrary, green tea is okay.

When carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke enters the bloodstream, it combines with hemoglobin and prevents fresh air from being supplied to cells, and it also invades motor nerves. Nicotine interferes with the activity of the nervous system that controls the secretion of hormones necessary for growth, affects the pituitary gland, causes endocrine abnormalities, and causes abnormalities in growth hormone secretion. It also has a bad effect on heart and digestive activity, and secondhand smoke is also very bad.

Alcohol is very harmful during the growth period, and it is fatal to the liver. The liver synthesizes proteins and fibrinogens in the blood plasma that are essential for digestion, absorption, and the body. It destroys old red blood cells and facilitates metabolism.

And I thought that playing basketball would make you taller, but I also learned that if you jump too hard and put a strain on your growth plates, or if you touch your entire foot when jumping rope, it will stimulate your growth plates, so you have to do it gently..

I thought it would be good to get children to do stretching like yoga or ballet, so I'm having my baby do stretching these days.

And more important than stretching is an environment where you don't give stress and can get a good night's sleep between 10-2 o'clock.

Exercise to the point of sweating, but the child grows well if they do this happily.

Once menstruation starts, you only grow for 2-3 years, so I don't think it's a good idea to give children too much overnutrition these days.

In the case of growth hormone injections, it is true that they speed up the rate of growth...that is, they help you reach the height you were originally going to grow quickly, but it has not yet been proven whether it has the effect of ultimately increasing your absolute height, but in my case, if I went back to elementary school, I would have asked my parents to give it to me, haha. There are side effects that raise blood sugar, but still..

It was very helpful.
