Parents’ Divorce Stunts Girl’s Growth
Smoking does it…drinking coffee is said to do it as well.
Divorce?
A 12-year old girl in China stopped growing four years ago after her parents divorced.
Her parents are normal height, but the little girl is stuck on 120cm (3′10″).
Doctors suspect depression has affected her growth hormones.
Cheerful mood + enough sleep + exercise + eat well = normal growth.
“Oh, the divorce won’t affect the kids. They’ll get over it.”
Yeah, right.
