Answer 1

♥ ♥ there are so many things to do something about... so just hold on its gonna get bumpy ♥ ♥

Answer 2

Let her know what's up, for sure.

Also, make sure w/your doctor's help, that she's not exposed to too many hormones or she doesn't have, say, a pituitary gland tumor or endocrine system disease.

But puberty happens pretty soon for some girls, and much sooner now than in recent decades. It may just be the time for her to go through the process.

And make SURE you know her school's anti-bullying policy and if ANYTHING happens because of her development and it makes her uncomfortable (because of bullying, ostracism, joking, teasing, WHATEVER) have her TELL YOU IMMEDIATELY. If she's the first girl to go through puberty in her class, it can be a lot of stress! Make sure she lets you know what's going on.

And relax. No, seriously. If there's nothing wrong that needs to be addressed medically/surgically, then it's not a big deal, and if it IS a medical problem, hey, it's best to know what you're dealing with.

I went through through the same thing with my 9 yr old.She has been going through changes left and right for the last year and half.I brought her to the Dr's and had a very long talk with her.I also had a female family get together for her to be able to ask questions to the other women in the family and their experiences.I made sure to ask them if they were comfortable with the topic first.They loved the idea and were happy to help..Just a thought maybe you could do something like that for your daughter.

Answer 4

go to the doctors to see someone who specialises in it. She needs to be checked to see if there is a reason for early onset pubert (probably not but it needs checking) the doctor may also have some books so you can explain it to your daughter easier. It is going to be a lot for her to absorb. My friends daughter also has this happening but it seems to have stopped for the moment. They believe some natrupathic medicines triggered hers (she has been a sick litttle girl this year) but a friend of hers daughter is also going through it and her specialist said there may be a link between early puberty and cling wrap ( that clear wrap that you cover things with or wrap sandwiches, different names in different countries)

Answer 5

Talk to her. Explain why things are happening to her in an eight year old level. Keep it simple. Tell her that she is growing up. Explain to her that about once a month she will have some bleeding and it is nothing to worry about. You may also want to explain that in her womb, she has eggs and boy has sperm. When they get together, you have a baby. Also, be open to her questions. When it is time, she will be prepared and make good choices. I wish you the best.

Answer 6

Don't be overly worried until you have the facts. But you should call the pediatrician and have your daughter do a check up. My mom's been a teacher for years and years and has said that every so often it happens to girls that young. Normally not a problem but she should see the doctor.

Answer 7

Answer 8

By the age of eight, I hope you have already told her about sex, puberty, etc.

Anyways, you must explain to her that the reason she is going through puberty so early is not her fault, yet that it is the fault of the overuse of chemicals and pesticides in America.

Answer 9

Keep it a natural time ,don't make her feel freaky. Just answer her questions head on and honestly Tell her about periods so she is not startled by it when it happens . Teach her to be discrete.
Good Luck

Answer 10

see what her reaction is... if she starts to think that her body is freaking out then talk to her about the subject and just Tell her that she is growing up and that is nothing to be worried about

Answer 11
