I hope it is okay to revive an old thread. I took my 8 1/2 yr old daughter to the doctor yesterday. She has 'breast buds' and the doctor said she can start puberty any moment now. Yikes! my heart jumped when he said that. I ordered her that American Girl book and we plan on reading it together.
My question is, as a parent, how did you handle the fact that your child was going through puberty? I feel very nervous about the whole thing, although I know it is not avoidable. I just don't want to tell her the wrong thing and I want her to know that I am there for her as her body changes.
