A male member sent me an interesting PM so I thought I'd share.
Daniel_ "I can't post on your thread, as a man, but do have the same dilema.
My daughter is 9 1/2 and has about the same development as you describe - she's in undershirts, but could soon need a real bra, and already has to use decent skincare products to avoid incipient blackheads.
The average age of the onset of menses is falling across the developed world, and there is much talk of this being due to hormones in the water, or industrial pollutants. The fact is that it's almost certainly due to better diets in early life."
I had heard of the hormones in water. I doubt that's a reason for earlier puberty in our particular area since we have such a low population. I hadn't ever considered the idea of a different diet affecting it. There is a lot more knowledge out there about nutrition but there's also so much more junk food with chemicals in it. I think we'll never REALLY know what the cause is with so many variables. It's good to know that there are other girls out there at the same age and same stage.
