Although height is determined by parents genes but still you can do is hanging.
Hanging is one of the best option. Also drink 2 glass of milk per day.

Apart from balanced diet and healthy sleep schedule you should participate in physical sports. Swimming has been proven to be by far the best activity to increase height.
You can also use supplements and formula milk like PediaSure.
First of all you still have time of 4 years to get a good height.Secondly avoid junk food and carbonated drinks as it will affect your muscles and bones.Eat healthy like meat,rice,beans,almonds,leafy vegetables,eggs,fruits and take dairy products a lot as they are rich in calcium like cow milk,yogurt,butter.Take CaC(calcium tablets)daily and have one glass of pediasure or ensure daily.Its a matter of diet and physical activity.Engage yourself in sport activities and stretching exercises as it will make you fresh and active and grow your muscles and bones.If any further question for the exercises, you can ask.
