I have just noticed that my dd who is 9.5 has started to develop. She has slightly raised/swollen nipples and a small amount of pubic hair (not noticeable unless you look very closely - saw it when applying cream to eczema on her legs).
I was initially a bit horrified by this evidence of puberty but, having read around it, I see that this is within a normal range. I am concerned, though, as she is very small indeed. She is only 3 stone 4 and about 4'2" tall. I'm worried that if she goes through puberty now she may end up very very short as an adult. Has anyone got any words of reassurance for me?
