Ukuchaza ukutyeba kakhulu kunye nokutyeba kakhulu ebantwaneni

Ukutyeba kuthetha ukuba namafutha omzimba amaninzi. Ayifani nokutyeba kakhulu, oko kuthetha ukuba nobunzima kakhulu. Ukutyeba kuya kusiba yinto eqhelekileyo ebuntwaneni. Rhoqo, iqala phakathi kweminyaka emi-5 ukuya kweli-6 kunye nokufikisa.

Iingcali zempilo yabantwana zicebisa ukuba abantwana bavavanyelwe ukutyeba kwiminyaka emi-2 ubudala. Ukuba kufuneka, kufuneka bathunyelwe kwiinkqubo zolawulo lobunzima.

Isalathiso sobunzima bomntwana wakho (i-BMI) sibalwa kusetyenziswa ubude nobunzima. Umboneleli wezempilo unokusebenzisa i-BMI ukuqikelela ukuba angakanani amanqatha omzimba womntwana wakho.

Ukulinganisa amanqatha omzimba kunye nokuchonga ukutyeba ebantwaneni kwahlukile kunokulinganisa oku kubantu abadala. Kubantwana:

• Inani lamafutha omzimba liyatshintsha kunye nobudala. Ngenxa yoku, i-BMI kunzima ukuyitolika ngexesha lokufikisa kunye namaxesha okukhula ngokukhawuleza.
• Amantombazana kunye namakhwenkwe anamaxabiso ahlukeneyo amafutha omzimba.

Inqanaba le-BMI elitsho ukuba umntwana utyebile kubudala obunye kunokuba yinto eqhelekileyo kumntwana okwiminyaka eyahlukileyo. Ukufumanisa ukuba umntwana utyebile okanye utyebe kakhulu, iingcali zithelekisa amanqanaba e-BMI abantwana abakwiminyaka efanayo. Basebenzisa itshathi ekhethekileyo yokuthatha isigqibo sokuba ngaba ubunzima bomntwana busempilweni okanye akunjalo.

• Ukuba i-BMI yomntwana iphezulu kune-85% (85 ngaphandle kwe-100) yabanye abantwana abakwiminyaka yabo kunye nesini, bathathelwa ingqalelo njengomngcipheko wokutyeba kakhulu.
• Ukuba i-BMI yomntwana iphezulu kune-95% (95 ngaphandle kwe-100) yabanye abantwana abakwiminyaka yabo kunye nesini, bathathwa njengabatyebileyo okanye abatyebe kakhulu.
