Posting here for traffic, sorry.
My 8 year old daughter seems to have begun puberty, am I out of touch or this really young??
She has underarm hair, a few pimples on her face and has body odour if she doesn’t shower every day. Her hair seems to be getting greasy quickly too!
This evening she has just told me she has some pubic hair.
She is slim, always been petite for her age, and very physically active (gymnastics, dance and swimming)
She does have a book all about growing up, so she knows what to expect, but even the book says age 10 is a normal time to see the first signs!
Should I take her to to the doctors? I don’t want to embarrass her of make her feel there is something wrong. Our doctors are also notably shit so I think they would brush it off anyhow.
Anyone had experience of this so young? And what did you do, if anything? TIA
