When is Puberty Too Early? (Ep. 173)
Acne in elementary school? Puberty may be starting earlier than it did a generation ago but some of the changes parents associate with puberty aren't signs that true puberty has begun.
Dr. Wendy explains the two different hormonal processes behind puberty, the first signs of true puberty in girls and boys, and why your child's growth chart may tell your pediatrician more than pubic hair or body odor.
Learn what's behind the trend toward earlier puberty, and what happens when puberty starts too soon.
Plus: How can doctors pause puberty - and what happens when they do?
