She’ll be fine, really.[/quote]

Yes its just a bit of hair and developing breasts. Totally normal.[/quote]

Apparently not these days - the poor girls have to be poked and prodded and tested and scanned. What kind of message is this sending to them about their bodies and sexuality? I developed early and felt like I was deprived of information and support to handle it, as if my period was something to be hidden and ashamed of. I always thought that was unfortunate.  But my parents freaking out and anxiously monitoring my genitalia, taking me to have my “breast buds” examined by a likely male endocrinologist, would have been even worse. [/quote]

Yes just accept that they are now developing and let us parents give them all the support without sending them to specialists for something that is maybe a bit younger but normal. Everybody is different in their development.[/quote]

If they’re girls starting puberty at 8 then that’s normal. If they’re 6-7 and are showing signs then they need to see an endocrinologist.[/quote]
