Hello, I noticed today that my 12 yr old DS has got dark hair above his upper lip. He is fair skinned and the hair is darker and new so I thought it's a sign of puberty.
This has followed on from me seeing his bits yesterday and I was shocked.....they've grown by about ten times the size since I saw them last (about six months ago) and there is pubic hair as well. His bits now seem way too large for his body!
I went to the NHS and other websites about puberty in boys and they all say that facial hair is one of the last signs, after voice changes, chest hair, growth spurt.
My son has got the first signs of puberty (increased penis and testicle size and pubic hair there).....and literally nothing else. He hasn't grown in height, his feet haven't grown, he has no underarm or chest hair, no voice changes, no Adam's apple. But suddenly this hair on his upper lip is supposed to come last!
Anyone else had this sort of topsy-turvy approach to puberty in their 12 year old sons?
Part of me is in denial!
