Parents often ask me what children with precocious puberty/early development need to pay attention to in their lives. In fact, they are all the things that parents nag about daily. I just change my identity to nag with my children again. The pace of development is affected by genetic factors on the one hand, environmental factors on the other hand, and disease factors on the other hand. Genetic factors, we can not change. But how genetic predisposition plays out is influenced by environmental factors. Compared with susceptible gene + adverse environment and susceptible gene + healthy environment, the results are different. Just as not all people with a family history of diabetes are bound to get diabetes, people with diabetes are not necessarily inherited. Environmental factors are a big concept, including air, water and soil, and our daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. The reason why there are more children developing early now than before has a lot to do with environmental changes. Many environmental endocrine disruptors have estrogen-like effects and interfere with the rhythm of development. Environmental endocrine disruptors are widely distributed and closely related to daily life, such as toys, plastic bottles, milk bottles, sippy cups, food, food packaging, beverage cans, toiletries, cosmetics, textiles, printing inks, medical devices, cleaning materials, pesticides, adhesives, building materials, etc., which contain more or less environmental endocrine disruptors. Based on this, for children with early development, in daily life, we should pay attention to the following points: manage weight well, avoid obesity and overweight, obesity and overweight are one of the important factors inducing early development and early bone age; Eat safely and healthily, eat as little junk food as possible, eat as little takeout as possible, pay attention to the ingredients list when buying snacks, minimize the contact with food additives, especially sugar and fried food need to control the number of times; Healthy children do not need to eat tonic food, nor do they need to supplement health care products casually. Whether to supplement or not requires a doctor or nutritionist to assess the child’s dietary structure and development before deciding. The diet should be balanced, not picky, especially to ensure the intake of vegetables and cereals. Specific dietary recommendations can refer to the healthy dietary recommendations for children aged 0-18. Development and metabolism are related, good exercise habits can promote good metabolism, so to let children develop good exercise habits, it is best to have an hour of exercise every day, the type of exercise is not limited, mainly interest and their own endurance, not interested in exercise is not easy to adhere to, and it is not happy to do; For obese or thin children, if they take part in sports, it is better to be evaluated by professional physical fitness coaches, choose sports suitable for their own conditions, and do not blindly carry out high-intensity training, in order to avoid sports injuries; Sleep well. Sleep is as important as eating. Adequate sleep can not only ensure the good secretion of growth hormone, but also give the brain enough rest to reduce the excessive secretion of gonadotropins caused by excessive stress. Primary school students sleep at least 9-10 hours a day, and middle school students sleep at least 8-9 hours a day. Decompression, emotional stability, happy mood, these are helpful to development, moderate academic pressure, relaxed family upbringing atmosphere, excessive emotional pressure is not conducive to growth, nor is it conducive to delaying development.
