And here are few simple ways through which your child can become taller. 

1. Healthy diet- The diet that has vitamins, carbs, fat, and proteins in a balanced amount is a must for your child. It will maintain the overall health of the child and ensures a good height as well.

 
2. Stretching exercises- Simple stretching exercises can have an impact on the height of your child. 

3. Hanging- Hanging from the bars in the playground is important for the child. So encourage your child to do push-ups and chin-ups. All this will help in the elongation of the spine. 

4. Yoga poses- Asanas like Surya Namskara and Chakara will make your child taller as they help in spine elongation.
