How to enhance growth in kids?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Healthy lifestyle: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep & and remaining physiclly active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches & normal kids who get hormone injections just get to their final height quicker, it would not add to final height.You can stunt your growth by the opposite, poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll.

Nutrition, rest: To obtain the maximum growth for a child one should optimize nutrition by giving the healthiest food options possible and encouraging a well balanced lifestyle of exercise and rest. The rest is up to family genetics!
