Early puberty

My 6 yo DS (almost 7) has been to the GP and they suspect he may be going through a very early puberty. Has anyone else been through the same at such a young age? The GP has referred him to hospital. I’m a bit worried about using deodorants at such a young age. Anyone got any advice / words of wisdom? Thanks in advance

Is your child ND? I only ask because ND children do tend to hit puberty a little younger than most I believe xx

No he isn’t. His Dad went through puberty early though

If he needs to use deodorant, let him. He'll be bullied for being the smelly child.
