Which bit are you asking about? Lack of puberty doesn't start to be an issue until age 15/16ish as far as I know. Does she want to wear underwear under pjs? Has she always done it?

Nhs says this about delayed puberty:

Delayed puberty

Delayed puberty is when:

boys have no signs of testicular development by 14 years of age

girls have not started to develop breasts by 13 years of age, or they have developed breasts but their periods haven't started by 15

I was 14 before I had my 1st period although I did develop breasts before that.
