Heredity
The growth of the body differs between gender, and these differences appear
from fetal development.
Female
Until the age of 7, it is common for girls to a dominate growth than boys in
many parts.
⚫ Bone tissue is faster than boys, so they have better development in small
muscle movements than boys.
⚫ At the age of 4 or 5, their large muscle movements such as jumping and
running with one foot are superior to boys.
Male
⚫ Until 7 years old, boys have faster growth in height than girls.
⚫ Baby fat is lost faster than girls, so they look thinner than girls throughout
childhood.
Environment
1) Poverty
If pregnant women do not take proper health care, they are more likely to give
birth to babies with underweight or developmental problems. In addition,
children from poor families have a higher risk of lead poisoning than children
from families with high social and economic levels, and if they are poisoned by
lead, they may show low achievement levels, attention deficit, and hyperactivity
disorder.
2) Sleeping
3) Smoking
The greater the number of exposures to tobacco smoke, the higher the risk of
illness in infants. Pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, burns, and asthma are
examples of diseases caused by secondhand smoke.
