Puberty at Three: A Little Girl Grows Up Too Fast
Puberty at Three: A Little Girl Grows Up Too Fast

Quote:
Girls usually don't have to worry about going through puberty until they are at least 10 to 13 years old — but, for one English girl, the process started much earlier, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
While her toddler friends enjoyed life's simplest pleasures, Hayley Smith spent her time dealing with menstrual pains.

She also had put up with other realities of puberty including body odor, greasy hair and mood swings.
Her parents, Debbie, 41, and David, 45, were both left baffled by the changes in their daughter's body, and behavior.
"I first noticed Hayley had body odor shortly after she'd turned three," said Debbie, who also has a 12-year-old son, Carl.
"Around the same time, she suddenly gained a lot of weight, despite not eating any more than she usually did. I thought it was very odd, and I mentioned it to my mother."
A series of tests with an endocrinologist revealed that Hayley's bone age was advanced, but no firm diagnosis was reached.
"The endocrinologist may have dismissed my worries, but I could just tell that my daughter was entering puberty."
Her instincts proved to be correct. After several examinations and tests over the following 18 months, Hayley was finally diagnosed with precocious puberty at the age of six. The condition, in which puberty begins at an unusually early age often due to abnormal production of estrogen, is thought to affect as many as one in six children under ten.

USA Here we go again...
another excuse for the drug companies to start their shanagans . We've never heard stories like this... now all of a sudden it's one out of six kids ????????? No wonder the population numbers are out of control.

You've never heard of many things that occur throughout the world until the advent of the internet.

One in six may be how often it occurs younger than "usual" but I doubt they're all three to six years of age.

My sister was 9 years old when she started puberty. Oh, well, things happen.

It also wasn't something that was EVER discussed 50 years ago!!!

That is so sad. My first menses was when I was 13. My sisters both had their first at 12.

There have been a lot of studies which have shown the increase of early puberty and the onset of menstration can be tied to the advent of modern day treatment of our food sources, such as hormones and certain pesticides.

The early onset puberty is a direct result of all the crud that we are putting into our environment. I don't know when we are going to wake up and see what we are destroying.

Pretty traumatic stuff for a little one, but not sure going public w/ the child's name is a hot idea. Sure she'd prefer going into school w/out the www knowing, eh?
