There are some who had growth spurt and became extra tall / matured and they may not like the fact that they stand out so prominently. Some are highly sought after for netball / basketball even if no interest.


At the other end, also got some remain shorter while the others grow to average or taller. Those are the most 可怜 during puberty years when peer approval matters more to most teens.

Average height quite happy (fewer troubles) I think.

I somehow noticed dd’s classmates (the few I saw) looks quite tall/mature. Mine is just over 1.5m when I measured recently.

I hope he will grow tall but not as tall as me because I am already 204cm

It is widely used in the treatment of traumatic injuries, various kinds of bleeding and in many emergencies.


It is also said to encourage blood circulation and aid in correcting poor blood flow. Hence it is believed to improve nutrient flow to bones, and around the body.

Especially it is genetics, you see. You can have him to try out gymnastic? It is a good sport because it develops overall aspect of psychomotor development, they do a lot of stretching and putting pressure on joints, muscles, and bone. But since he is tall, you can get him into sports, it would definitely be a good athlete, put his height on advantage!

My son is the shortest in his K1 class. Is there anything I can do to help him grow?
I read that sleeping more, eating right and jumping helps.

Anything else we can go to help him grow taller?

Thanks ammonite.

So i guess i wait til he change. Hopefully after psle. Is that a window that i must catch? Eg if he spurt in Aug, can i wait til pass psle to give? I heard it is heaty and not keen to experiment it during this crucial period but at the same time worry that there may be a window. We intend to take capsule form, and he is still not used to capsule medication.
Oh there isn't such a small window, no worries! For maximising height, you can give it throughout puberty. I feel more comfortable with the traditional way which is to give it as a soup, and for that, you can give once a month or every two weeks. It is a very heaty herb, so adjust accordingly to the body's reaction. Previously when dh had a concussion, I also made some for him as I was told it will help to clear any undetected blood clots. But I personally prefer to give less than too much.

(by the way, I think we are not so good at telling when boys start developing. Old aunties and grandmothers can tell better than us, like the way they can tell if a woman is pregnant or not by seeing subtle changes in the hips. Maybe ask an elderly relative? )

Hi, what about girl? Can girl eat tian qi?

My nephews started to take the capsule form of tianqi from Fu Hua when they are in secondary schools. We did see the increase in height.

I asked about my dd1. The lady said it's not advisable for my girl especially if they have not start their menses. So we didn't offer her. But my dd is now easily 1.64m.. I don't think she should grow anymore.

Actually when I was in my teenage life, mum ever cooked some chinese herbs for me that it was supposed to cleanse our blood. So that those historical medical issues (eg. skin problems, old injury) can be healed. I used to have lots of 5cents and 10 cents on my hands and legs (due to mosquito bites in kampung). It was like scar. But that is no longer visible. Pimples was also alittle here and there ocassionally during teenage life. So unsure if it is due to that herbs or genetics.

I add some to chicken soup and I feel warmer when I take it. However I think girls should definitely not take it before and during menstruation. Best to check with a sinseh!

We approached two medical hall to get tianqi.

First one we went with primary 6 ds1 who has not reach growth spurt yet, the staff advised to wait a while more say next year or when he show signs of changing, no need take so early. The second medical hall we approached without my ds, the staff said as young as 10years old can take.

So how? Those who have given their kids, around which age? Is there a window period? I see some of my kid's boy friends already shot up by more than one head height compared to my boy.

My elderly neighbour who told me about tianqi said boys can start taking it once their bodies start changing - shoulders broadening etc. She started giving it to her grandson at 11. She also gave it to her own son (now a father). My mum also consulted her sinseh teacher and yes, boys as young as 10 can take, as long as their bodies start changing. So basically you go with the child's development. You can give less if you are not sure. It is also supposed to be good for clearing bruises, so it is generally considered a herb that is good for boys who are very active.

I don't know where the boys are going. DS said the Korean BBQ buffet restaurant is at Bukit Panjang where one of his friends lives. The $9 is the price for children weekday buffet lunch. I don't know whether it already includes gst and service charge or not. If the kids are considered as children, it is really a good deal for them as the boys eat a lot http://www.sherv.net/emoticons.html
