[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is happening with your daughter, OP, but this was my experience. I got my period at 11 (Easter Bunny didn’t come etc), by 6th grade I was a D-Cup. My parents just started acting like I was much older. The world treated me like an adult, including gross men hitting on me. I remember being at the airport with my snoopy suitcase as a 5th grader and people looking at me strangely. A flight attendant teased me about it and I realized why I’d gotten all the looks. My body was so far ahead of my brain. I felt like a kid and had no tools to cope with being treated like a woman. Yes, I knew about biology and BC, but I really needed my parents to recognize that I was a kid and help navigate that whole situation. And to let me BE a kid. DD also developed early. I made sure she wasn’t pushed out of kid stuff until she was ready and I role played with her to practice telling people her real age and to knock off their problematic behavior.[/quote]
