Is there anything I can do to help her? She had breast buds age 8, now is 9 and has BO, greasy hair, pubic hair and definite breasts - I’m sure periods are imminent. She still has 3 years of primary school left so I guess when she does start I should tell the school?
She doesn’t seem embarrassed about it, just horrified & doesn’t walk to acknowledge or talk about it. She has some sensory issues with clothes & won’t wear crop top or bra. When changing at school she’ll wear a full vest, which isn’t great in the heat.
Should I just wait for her to bring up any issues with me? I don’t want to push her and make her more uncomfortable, but st the same time don’t want to leave her to it. I’ve given her an osbourne book but she won’t read it.
I think a big issue is she’s on the younger side and the only one in her year going through puberty, I think she already feels a bit awkward as at 5ft she’s much taller than all her friends.
