My daughter is 10 she’s had pimples and has been growing boobs die a while now which keep growing , I just noticed the other day she’s getting pubic hair now too . She’s my eldest so I don’t have anything to Compare too , is she too young for pubic hair ? I know I have no choice but I’m not ready for her to grow up and have a womanly body . How do I cope with my baby growing up like this ? I’m feeling very sad about the changes

10 is in the range of normal.
Make sure you’ve talked to your daughter about periods. I was 11 when I got mine, and I wasn’t the first child in my school year that did.
I was 11 when I got mine . I’m
Very open with my kids they have always known about bodies and periods and sex . She has some pads in her school bag Jist incase
Nope totally normal. My 8yo has public hair and growing underarm hair 🤷
How do you cope with it ? She still seems so young but is changing so much in her body . How do you cope as a parent ?
I don’t know if I’m odd, but I got pubic hair really early, like grade 3 or 4. But was flat chested until about 13 and didn’t get my period until year 8. We are hairy women though lol.
Normal. I have an 11 year old and she has her period, pimples, boobs and public hair.
It’s perfectly normal we have been going thru this since my daughter turned 8, she will be 10 in a few weeks time , we have had the period talk , been to the pead, my gp Is aware. All pretty much just waiting for it to happen. I was a early developer n got my first period at 10 , We have used the books what’s happening to me , and read the important things in it. I’ve also brought girls stuff for myself to read.
My daughter was 6 when she started getting pubes. I took her to the doctor and was told it was normal.
9.5 she got her first period. Its been a once off so hopefully won't get again for awhile.
Turned 10 a couple of months ago and her boobies are starting to grow.
I have always been open with her and answer any questions she has.
My step daughters mum didn't tell her anything and she got her first period with me. She thought she was dying. It was very scary for her ☹
