My 7 year old daughter who is turning 8 in December is having breast buds and I noticed she got pubic hair as well and discharge in her underwear. I’m worries she’s gonna start her period soon. Took her to GP and currently waiting to hear back for a pediatric appointment. Please advise

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Precocious puberty is defined by reaching puberty before age 8 in girls. You have done the right thing seeking medical advice. Hope you get an appointment soon.
Have you spoken to anyone at school? They can hopefully support with adjustments such as private toilet facilities or increased access.
A good book to share is Hair in Funny Places Babbette Cole.
