Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
During a child's growth and development in puberty, parents should pay special attention to the following aspects:
1. Ensure the child receives balanced nutrition, including adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., to support rapid physical growth and development.
2. Encourage the child to engage in appropriate physical activities, such as basketball or swimming, to promote bone growth and strengthen physical health. At the same time, parents should pay attention to the child's mental well-being, maintain open communication, and guide them in developing a healthy self-image and values.
3. Puberty is a critical period for sexual development; parents should provide proper sex education to prevent confusion or misconceptions.
4. Schedule regular health check-ups for the child to promptly identify and address any potential issues during growth and development.
