In fact, compared with 20 years ago, the mature age of children is much earlier now. Perhaps most parents still have the impression that when they were studying, many of them didn't start to develop until they were in middle school, while some boys didn't start to develop rapidly until they were in senior two or senior three, or even after college. Nowadays, children have developed at a much earlier age. Generally speaking, students in the upper grades of primary school have basically begun to develop. Therefore, we set the current age of precocious puberty in children as: boys begin to develop before the age of nine, and girls begin to develop before the age of eight.
Then what is the beginning of development, and how can parents find it as soon as possible?
Girls are easier to observe. Generally, if there is a bulge in the breast, it may be that puberty development has started. If a boy has changed his voice or even grown a beard, it will be late. The development of a boy often begins with the enlargement of his balls. If a boy's balls grow bigger than pigeon eggs's, it should be the beginning of his development.
Because the early performance of sexual development is not obvious, and the children themselves are not very clear about it. All this depends on parents' careful and frequent observation, timely detection and early treatment. Therefore, parents of the same sex can check their children's secondary sexual characteristics at the same time every month, such as mothers checking their daughters' breasts and fathers observing their sons' balls. Sometimes, some children's sexual development may begin with the appearance of body hair. If, during routine examination, it is found that the child is under the age of development and the above situation occurs again, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find a special child endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment. Some children with precocious puberty may start before the age of five or even four, so routine check-ups can't be carried out until after primary school, but the earlier they start, the sooner they form habits, the better.
Precocious puberty may not only cause children's psychological inferiority, but also make them feel different from other children. At the same time, the final height is affected by premature development. Some abnormal precocious puberty may even be a sign of some tumors. Dear parents, from now on, always pay attention to your child's development.
