do you live in an urban area? The average age for menarche (the onset of puberty) is lower in urban areas, and overall it has been declining for some time. There are many theories as to why, from the positive such as better health, to the negative such as increased hormones in our food and environment. Either way, 9 is relatively normal these days.

EDIT: Didn't notice this thread was so old when I initially made this post. Anyway, the post is pretty much irrelevent now, but it's useful information anyway. *shrug*

I must say though, the thread has been an informing read as someone who may be a parent one day.
