[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Older siblings is a BIG one. I saw it when my oldest child was young and in some ways I see my third child being mature for her age. -Another one is early puberty, especially breast development in girls. One of my daughter's friends developed breasts at age 10. By age 11 older boys were showing an interest in her and she started noticing the attention and eventually reciprocated it. The boys completely ignored my daughter who was flat as can be until almost age 14. Had the boys been chasing her at 10 I'm sure we would have been dealing with everything at 11 too. [/quote] I noticed the same thing in my DD’s cohort. I do wonder if it’s not just the attention early-developing girls get, but that hormones actually make them more prone to the riskier behavior at a younger age.[/quote]
