Thank you all so very much. Words cannot describe how I feel about getting support from so many different, intelligent women. I am very scared, probably more than she is even (well since she doesn't know anything yet) but I can't allow her to grow up in the dark. I know I have to sit down and have this talk it's getting started that scares me. It's not that I want to stop it from happening, it's just so soon.
I agree with the hormone assumptions that they are contributing to a faster rate of puberty but the body fat content is new to me. It's funny my 13 yr old son looks like he's 10 and weighs 76 lbs, my 9 yr old daughter weighs 95 lbs and looks like she is going on 13. I purposely didn't have children so close together so that I could enjoy them separately but they are both going through the stages of life at the same time and it is very scary.
Again I appreciate your advice and will keep you posted on how "the talk" turns out.
