Description
Book Introduction
The golden time of growth that you must not miss even once in your life.
“Please rewrite your child’s ‘lifelong height report card’ now.”
Two mothers of toddlers and elementary school students and current growth clinic specialists
The most realistic growth manual, based on hundreds of case studies.
“Don’t make me regret my height for the rest of my life!”
For mothers of toddlers and elementary school students, growth clinics are a major concern and headache, along with orthodontic treatment and vision correction.
If I send him, I wonder if it's right to spend money and give him shots and make him suffer, but if I don't send him, I'm afraid I'll miss the timing.
While teeth and eyesight are only treated in children with 'symptoms', growth clinics are bound to be a concern even without any special signs.
Because no matter how big or small your child is now, you may not be satisfied with the final height.
This book is written by two "Doctor Moms" from the Growth Clinic, who understand better than anyone the feelings of mothers who say, "There's a reason why a child grows so quickly." It provides accurate and definite answers in an easy-to-understand manner so that you don't have to worry any more.
In this book, the authors go beyond the dichotomous approach of "should I receive growth therapy or not?" and clearly present the key timing and intervention points for height growth across the lifespan that parents must be aware of.
Additionally, we curate necessary information based on the child's innate constitution and growth rhythm, and provide the most realistic growth solution.
A child's height is not just a number.
It is a self-esteem that will follow you throughout your life.
And there is only one time to correct this: now.
When you're wondering whether or not to go to a growth clinic, when you want to ask, "Is it too late?", open this book.
The answer to growth, proven scientifically and clinically by Doctor Mom, is immediately apparent.

Into the book
Height is a strange thing.
When you're young, the curiosity of "How tall will I be?" comes as a thrill, but as you become an adult, that height can feel like an unchangeable destiny.
To answer the question of whether you can change your height, the conclusion is that you can't change it completely, but you can 'change' it as much as you want.
--- p.21
There are some points that are emphasized in clinical settings regarding height genetics.
It's not about "who is taller" but "who is smaller than average".
all.
If either the mother or father is shorter than average, the child is more likely to be shorter.
Even if one parent is tall, if the other parent is noticeably short, the genetic influence cannot be ignored.
--- p.27
Actually, there was one thing that bothered me while interviewing my parents.
When I heard of my father's family history of short stature, I suspected undiagnosed precocious puberty.
Although the child has not yet shown any secondary sexual characteristics, we also performed a test for precocious puberty just in case.
Although the hormone levels did not clearly indicate precocious puberty, considering the early bone age and family history, we decided to treat this as well.
--- p.37
People say, “These days, kids have long legs,” but since teenagers are still young, their torsos aren’t fully grown, so their legs are longer than those of adults.
During adolescence, everyone's limbs are longest relative to their torso.
In particular, the size of your hands and feet can be a hint to your height growth.
This is because the period around puberty when hands and feet grow rapidly is a signal of height growth.
If you observe this period carefully, you can create an environment for height growth without missing the golden time for growth.
--- p.46
If a mother's menarche begins early, her child may also have a slightly higher risk of precocious puberty.
According to a 2017 domestic survey, if a mother has early menarche, the daughter's risk of having early menarche also increases by 1.48 times.
This figure is higher than the 1.24-fold risk of early menarche among overweight women.
--- p.49
If sex hormones close the growth plates, how can height still grow during a second growth spurt? Here's an important point.
The point is that the growth plate does not close all at once.
It is true that the growth plate gradually closes as secondary sexual characteristics appear, but the point at which the growth plate completely closes comes somewhat later than puberty.
--- p.84
So, if bone age and testicular size differ so much, which is considered the more superior growth indicator? For predicting adult height, bone age assessment, also known as a bone age test, is a much more precise and reliable indicator, but its accuracy varies slightly depending on age.
Empirically, in young children, such as those in the lower grades of elementary school, children with larger testicles tend to end up being shorter.
--- p.100
It's okay if it's a little late, a little small.
Of course, it would be great if it were as big as you want.
But there are more important things in life.
The time that parents and children spend walking together on the path of growth may be more precious than the result called 'height'.
The heart that holds a child's hand and thinks together with them is the true force that leads to growth.
Please let go of your impatience and trust generously.
There will come a day when you will meet your child who has grown up so much and smile.
This is the most shining golden time in the lives of parents and children, when not only height but also mind grows.

Publisher's Review
★★★ Highly recommended by the Korean Society for Growth Medicine ★★★
★★★ Contains the latest medical information, from diagnostic criteria to manuals ★★★
★★★ The first Korean age-based 'standard atlas' revealed ★★★
“The question parents are most curious about is height growth.
“An expert will give you a clear answer!”
Growth plates, growth hormones, chronic diseases, puberty, exercise, diet, and even psychology
Growth Q&A is easier than searching and more accurate than a community.
Faced with complex medical knowledge, parents often feel lost and wonder, "Where should I start and what should I learn?"
Growth plates, puberty, hormones, precocious puberty, nutrition, sleep, constitution… we’ve all heard of it, but no one really knows how it relates to ‘my child.’
When you don't need immediate treatment, you may feel hesitant to go to a growth clinic, but you also don't want to trust confusing internet searches.
This book was created for just such a moment.
The authors chose a Q&A format that focuses on the questions parents actually wonder about, extracting only the essential points and answering them clearly.
Thanks to this, even parents who don't know much about growth can read it easily, and as each question is answered, they naturally gain understanding, thinking, "Ah, that's what it means!"
The answers, which are full of the expert's clinical experience, are incomparably more practical and useful than existing information-based explanations, as they provide information on how to actually determine a child's expected height in the field and how similar real-life cases were treated.
It goes beyond simply imparting knowledge, but also helps parents proactively manage their children's growth.
If you read this before going to the growth clinic, it will be much easier to understand the doctor's explanation at the hospital and you will also have a clearer idea of what questions to ask.
√Are growth hormone injections dangerous? √Do some children grow too fast later in life?
√It's all genetic, so even if I get treatment, I won't grow anyway? √If I lift heavy things, I won't grow taller?
From folklore to 'Kardera', we are looking for scientific evidence
Growth solutions that provide clear answers
“Growth hormone injections are just for growing taller anyway,” “Children who grow late tend to grow taller,” “Growth hormones have side effects, so you shouldn’t get them,” “It’s okay because men grow even after going to the military,” and so on, there are many ‘carder’ myths related to growth.
However, few people actually know whether all of these statements are true, and if so, what the basis is.
Which of these statements is true and which is false? How long should we wait for our child's development, and at what point should we intervene?
This book provides clear answers to these questions, along with scientific evidence to support each question.
Parts that require expertise are explained as simply as possible, and conversely, parts that are easy to misunderstand are clearly explained, even if it means taking the time to do so.
They don't avoid difficult questions like, "So, how much will the total cost be?" or "How much will health insurance cover?"
If you're concerned about your child's height, the first thing you should do now is not search, but open this book.
In an age where it's easy to be swayed by even a single line of common sense, this book will give parents the confidence and judgment they need to know about their children's height.
