puberty at 9 ????

[tappy]

hi my daughter has starting to get feelings like as if she was going to get period any one gone through same ?

I don't have experience with this, but I do know that girls are getting their periods earlier than a generation ago. I know a few girls that got it around 9 or 10.

thanks for your input. i have heard of it but it is really scarey thought. her breasts are sor and so is her belly. most things ive read say thay hair under arms etc comes first but she doesnt have any of that

Hi there
My daughter started her periods at 10 the night before her 11+.I was really upset at the time as she was the only one in her class and had no one at school to talk to.Her brother has just started puberty and my friend recommended this really great interactive cd rom which I have brought.I only wish it had been around when my daughter needed it. They have a website.Take a look \link{http://www.sensecds.com/} Good luck xxxxxx

To be honest with my sons moods and general tearfulness and blowing up i sometimes feel he is going through hormonal changes ,my friends dd started her periods at 10, my ds is 10 in march xxxx

I know how you feel my son is going through a real Kevin stage at the moment.Nothing is his fault and he only answers me in grunts and groans. Hang in there it does get better.My daughter is now a beautiful kind girl.

I got my about just coming up to 10 I think

I was 9 when mine started and I didn't have a clue what was going on - I wholeheartedly agree with anniemac that if you haven't already, it would be a good idea to make sure she knows what's going to happen and how to deal with it.

I don't remember whether I'd started getting hairy first, but I do remember that I started getting period-type pains about six months before they started.
