My daughter is 8 years and 11 months old. I have noticed that she has been growing hair in underarms and developing breasts for the past two months. Is this normal? How long will it take for her to get her first period? i am so worried about this.

A. Hello! Yes, it’s a very common finding to get puberty symptoms from age 9. Doesn’t really mean that periods will start soon or early. This is a growing phase in your child. You should start communicating more effectively with your child about personal hygiene, growth and health
