[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD turned 10 in November and 
Somehow I  just noticed tonight that she 
is showing some common signs of puberty.

In all other ways she's a typical little girl and actually is late to give up her barbies, beanie-boos and stuffed animals. 
Also, I haven't noticed any of the hormonal moodiness yet. But physically, there are some changes. She's got a check-up coming up but wondering what others have experienced in terms of the age at the start of puberty.
I'm hoping that her menstrual cycle holds off until she is more mature. :([/quote]

She is completely normal, at her next check up the nurse will probably talk to her about puberty. 
Have you talked to her about periods yet? Now might be a good time.
[b]Perhaps start weening her off toys now, by 11 they are getting too old for toys.[/b]
Be grateful she is not moody yet, some 10yr olds can be right moody monsters lol.[/quote]

:shock:

If she still enjoys toys, let her play with toys! Kids groe up fast enough as it is!

FWW, my childhood best friend & I played with dolls occasionally until the end of seventh grade. We had also been babysitting for well over a year by that point & were very mature & responsible 99% of the time. We just liked dolls! I'm glad our parents let us hold on to that little bit of childhood instead of "weaning us off of" it before we were ready. [/quote]

Seriously- my dd is 10 and will get her period any day.  She loves barbies and toys, and being a little girl- don't listen to the PP above that says to wean off toys.  They are kids![/quote]
