Any idea what was the age when you started to have that monthly cycle?...And what about your daughter? Do you find any difference in the onset of puberty between the two of you?
A recent research has shown that today girls reach puberty 18 months before their mothers did and somewhere around two years before the age their grandmothers reached.
The factors that being held responsible for this early onset of puberty among girls are :
1. Obesity
2. Lack of Exercise
3. Increased number of Broken Homes
If you too are a mother of a 6-7 years old daughter, then you need to read this article in detail. It’s a crucial time for your daughter, make sure she takes a healthy diet with adequate amount of exercise or the chances are that she might fall into the grown-up bracket pretty earlier.

It is absolutely ridiculous to assume that the ”disease” of obesity CAUSES the early onset of puberty. Plain and simple, the more fat a young girl can retain on her body, the better her physical chances are at forming child-bearing equipment. A healthy, but perhaps plump/chubby girl is far more fit to bear children than a naturally skinny or malnutritioned child. The only thing that is needed to cause an ”early” onset of child-bearing capabilities is that little extra meat/fatty tissues, NOT obesity in itself. A child does not have to be obese to get her period at 8 or 9 years of age.
