| | Puberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Puberty refers to the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction. | | | Adolescence largely overlaps the period of puberty but its boundaries are less precisely defined and it refers as much to the psychosocial and cultural characteristics of development during the teen years as to the physical changes of puberty. | | | Pubic hair is often the second unequivocal change of puberty. |

| | Precocious (early) puberty in girls |
| | There aren't likely to be any long-term physical effects from starting puberty early except one: Initially your child may be taller than her peers, but an early growth spurt could leave her shorter than average as an adult. | | | Your child may show further signs of puberty during the first six weeks or so of treatment — mood changes, acne, even a period — but gradually these will stop. | | | At this point, the general conclusion is that much more research needs to be done before we can draw any new conclusions about the timing of puberty. |
