If you think height is a sign of value, you may face a lot of disappointment when you find someone taller than you.
Talking Points:
- Keeping your body hydrated by drinking water is one of the healthiest things you can do. Avoid sodas and sugary energy drinks which spike your energy levels and take energy from your body which it could use to help grow you taller during your tween and teen years.
- If you fuel your body with the right foods, you give it the health it needs to maximize your growth. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and avoid foods with lots of fats and salt.
- Don’t be insecure about your height. You have little control over your height. You should be comfortable with who you are, no matter how tall you are. Don’t compare yourself to others by your height, since you cannot make yourself taller by worrying about it.
