2. Based on your situation, your son is 9 years old and 1.30 meters tall, your husband is less than 1.70 meters tall, and you are 1.62 meters tall.
1) Your child's height is slightly shorter.
2) According to the intergenerational genetic background, he should reach 1.70 meters in adulthood. Additionally, it is best to have his growth hormone levels, trace elements, and blood routine checked at the hospital.
3) The diet should be balanced, and deep sleep at night should be sufficient. Drinking a glass of milk before bed is also recommended. At the same time, pay attention to physical exercise, such as basketball and ice skating, which are both great for height growth and development.
