What factors or causes contribute to a child's failure to grow taller?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my child is now 1 year and 3 months old. She can already walk now, but her height hasn't increased much compared to her one-year-old checkup (74 cm). Will this affect her development? She is very flexible and understands what is said, but she hasn't grown much in height. Could this be rickets?

Doctor's answer:

During the development period, you can drink a bit more milk and soy milk. Additionally, you can also participate in regular physical exercise, especially playing basketball can help you grow taller, naturally stretching the spine. Moderate exercise can improve blood supply to the bones and increase bone density, making it possible to grow taller!
