[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now 11 year old was showing signs of puberty at 8 years old. The doctor said that we didn’t want her to look much older than her peers because she would be treated differently in a negative way. Three years later she’s growing normally and will remove the hormone blockers soon. She’s now 5’3” and about 105-110 lbs. [/quote] I really disagree with this. Not wanting a kid to “look different” is a terrible reason to interfere with their natural development. And it’s only the girls that people worry about. [/quote] It’s not only the girls. Plenty of people of people post here worrying about their short boys. Recently a mom posted about her balding college son. Parents always worry about their kids being different, though I’m not advocating taking extreme measures to avoid it.[/quote]
