My DD is 8 (nearly 9) and is going through what seems to me like puberty. She had a period (light) about 3 months ago, then just some discharge since but a few months before that she has started with bad mood swings, many headaches and generally a lot of bursting into tears and random behaviour.
She is also developing pubic hair and I can see a slightly bit of shape around her breasts. She also has a shapely figure, very skinny but I can see hips and a bum which were not there before. All very scary. Weirdly height wise she hasn't grown at all for a little while...although she is very tall for her age too and her feet are nearly the same size as mine!
I have taken her to the GP who said if we get another period she will refer her to a specialist. At the moment is on "wait and see". As she is my first child I am not sure what to do. I had my first period at nearly 17 years old so I have no idea how it must feel at such a young age.
The worst part is the behaviour and the mood swings but generally I am just after some reassurance that anyone else has gone through this? Thanks in advance!!
