      my DS join basketball for CCA this year , hope can help him to grow taller. πŸ˜„

      we also brew η”°δΈƒ & ginseng prescribe from δ½™δ»η”Ÿ as he has already show the sign of purbery.
      he is P5 this year, and is 156/57cm tall now.[/quote]

      If we use Yu Ren Sen's prescription, can we leave out the peanut roots (as dont know where to get them)? Thanks![/quote]

      Hi ,my ds only take tian qi so far , will see whether it really help before letting him take the peanut roots.
      for tian qi , may take once every 2-3 weeks, and 4 times in total.

      you may find the peanut roots at the wet market or farmart at CCK http://farmart.com.sg/gettinghere.aspx.

        Take your green, make smoothies out of green. Take colostrum which contain growth factor IgG. That would help them grow. Carrot juice contain more calcium than milk, raw almond milk is another good choice too. Yogurt is best as it provides good bacteria, calcium and protein, easier on digestion. Don't worry, when they reach their puberty, they will grow. Good luck!


        You can never go beyond what they inherited in their genes too!!!

        agree , my hubby and myself are short , in fact i m petite ,but my father in law is tall.
        that is y i m worry that my ds will not grow tall if inherited daddy and mummy genes.

              True but potential height also got range so what we are discussing here hopefully pull (literally) the kids to the highest of the possible range and not end up at lowest of the range. Why same siblings but some tall some short right! Let's all try our best to defy gravity for our kids to hit highest possible height in the range. Jia you and jia height!

                  But I guess it is alright for girl to be short , Short and slim has its advantages too , will look much younger than her peers.

                  My DD is short too, but not the shortest in her k1 class .
                  She seems growing very slow, very picky and choosy eater .

                    ya my niece get to know of a footballer who got the jab to increase his height..Just wonder is it safe to do that. .


                    I read an article on this in the ST some years ago. Apparently it's using synthetic hormones ... don't feel safe. Yeah, my 1.30+m sec 1 boy complaining he's \"short\". He also doesn't feel comfortable with such jabs, so I told him to wait until he's 15yo, surely will grow taller then (altho' don't know to how tall, lah). So far, I've observed my kids don't start having their growth spurts early, so he'll probably follow suit.


                    My boy is on growth hormone jabs. Been a yr already. So far so good. guess if everything is normal then don't take the jab. Like mine it's because of a small pituitary gland size so we decided to go ahead with it. Just replacing what his body lacks.

                        He is now 6. Was 96cm, now 104cm. Grew 8cm with the GH. Very gd coz he was only growing 3cm a yr before that. The main thing that also changed was his face changed. Became more mature, no longer look like toddler.
