[quote=Anonymous]Some of us don't have issues with being naked in front of our children. My daughters see me naked and I see them naked. My nine year old has breast buds -totally normal and typical development. And contrary to a previous comment, thelarche, or breast budding is the first sign of puberty with the activation of the hypothalamus -pituitary axis. Adrenarche is independent. As a pediatrician specializing in teens I wish more parents would be open and discuss development with their kids. Unfortunately many of the parents have not had adequate sexual education themselves. There are so many great books out there to help parents who don't feel comfortable talking to their kids. Knowledge is a powerful tool. Trust me, talking about sex is not going to encourage your teen to have sex. and last plug for the day, start the HPV9 vaccine by 11. [/quote]
