| Influencing factors | Effect on hand lines | Related research |
|---|---|---|
| genetic factors | Decide on the basic pattern | Identical twins’ handprints are 95% similar |
| Pregnancy environment | Affect texture details | Maternal stress hormone levels are associated with fetal striae complexity |
| neurodevelopment | Synchronized with cerebral cortex development | Some children with neurodevelopmental abnormalities show special skin patterns |
3. How should parents correctly treat their children’s handprints?

5. Expert advice
Professor Wang, Director of the Department of Developmental Behavior of Beijing Children's Hospital, pointed out: "Clinical observations show that there is indeed a statistical correlation between handprint morphology and specific diseases. For example, about 60% of children with Down syndrome have special palmprints. However, the vast majority of ordinary children's messy handprints are normal variations, and parents do not need to worry too much. It is recommended to conduct regular and standardized developmental assessments instead of relying on folk physiognomy."
Psychology expert Dr. Li added: "Special attention to handprints may create a psychological suggestion effect. It is recommended that parents treat their children's uniqueness with an open mind and focus on cultivating their adaptability and positive attitude."
Conclusion:A child's disordered handprints may be a unique physiological characteristic. Although the traditional interpretation is interesting, scientific parenting is the key. Every child is a unique individual, and handprints are just a small part of their many characteristics. Parents should spend more energy focusing on their children's physical and mental health and all-round development instead of focusing on the "prophecy" of palm prints.
