BO on children??

[luvumum]

I justinnings smelt BO on my 9yr old dd, is that normal? She hasn't reached puberty yet? Is that a sign of its imminence?

My DS2 also had BO at the age of nine, and boy his smelly feet can make your eyes water I just make sure he's carrying out his personal hygiene a lot better, caught him out in the bathroom, just letting the taps run instead of actually washing, so now he has to shower each morning, I took him to buy deodorant etc so that he actually uses it.

As for puberty, I was only nine when I started my periods, and my mum was 10, so yes she could be reaching it.
