precocious puberty

Is that too early? Yes, we consider puberty too early before age eight in girls and before age nine in boys.

And we call that precocious puberty if it starts before those ages.

What's normal? Okay.

Yes, there is a wide range of normal puberty age.

I've seen breasts start developing in a five or six-year-old.

Yes, we do see that.

Early puberty in a boy, that tends to get a little more attention too because precocious puberty is far less common in boys and it's more likely than in a girl to have an identifiable underlying cause.

Remember, I mentioned asking about headaches and vision changes.
