Precocious (early) Puberty in Girls

What is Precocious Puberty?
On average, girls start puberty between the ages of 8 and 13, but some will start to develop breasts, pubic hair, or body odor before age 8. The technical term for this is precocious puberty. Girls are more likely than boys to develop precocious puberty.
Watching your daughter become a woman can be an emotional roller coaster under normal circumstances. But when puberty starts early, it can really be distressing.
Most of the time there's nothing seriously wrong – your child is probably just on the early side of normal. And although she may suffer some social or physical awkwardness for a time, the rest of her class won't be far behind.
There aren't likely to be any long-term physical effects from starting puberty early except one: Initially your child may be taller than her peers, but an early growth spurt could leave her shorter than average as an adult.
