After reading the book "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" by Judy Bloom
(I think was the book) I worried that I would be late. But had mine by the time I was 11. My mom said I was early. But I had a friend in the 4th grade that told me that she had her period. She asked me if I had Periods, and I told her yes. Of course I didn't know what she was talking about and assumed that she was talking about school periods. (What a dumb question ) Ha ha. "m.ackerman" wrote in message news:Y4uYc.67211$9d6.65716@attbi_s54... I sure can see about the milk but girls have always had early periods. When I talk to other women friends inevitably there would be two or three who started at the same age I did which was at 10.5. Now this was in the 60's so it has always been there it's just that as parents I don't think we are quiet as prepared for a 4th grader to be size 36A bra and shaving legs to boot. My ped said girls generally follow their moms. Poor Kathleen! Shirley Chris and Kathleen 1/95 "Toby" wrote in message om... Just a thought..... A friend of mine had a child who began having body odor at age six! She was concerned about this and took her to the ped. He asked how much milk she drank and it turns out this is all that the child drank. No water. No juice. Milk 24/7. He said that there are hormones in the milk and to cut back on the intake. Sure enough, within four weeks, the body odor just about disappeared. So I guess that makes sense. Hormones in milk = early development= all the fun stuff that comes along with early development. I guess this is why we are seeing girls getting periods in fourth grade these days. And here I though milk was good for you. Toby |
