Children in grade school may start noticing early body changes such as growth spurts, changes in body shape, or the beginnings of puberty.
For girls, puberty typically starts between 8–13 years, often beginning with breast development, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt. For boys, puberty usually starts between 9–14 years, often beginning with testicular enlargement, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt.
These changes can start at different ages for each child.
Open conversations about their body, privacy, and healthy habits help children feel comfortable and confident.
Well visits are a great time for your provider to assess puberty changes and give guidance on what to expect and when. Call today to schedule an appointment.
