I think the article said at one point that a crucial way to deal with the really early puberty in girls was for the parents to be very present and encouraging. It's sad that a womans body would be forced on a girl at SUCH a young age because of mostly factors they have no control over, but dealing in a proper way is so key. Or really, as you said, in any situation, early puberty or not.<br />I always felt SO uncomfortable being as tall as I am (no boys were my height, I had to stand in the back row with the boys in school pictures, or worse, across from the teacher!), but my mom always did (and still does) say "Tall is BEAUTIFUL!".Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-77817829896742197412012-04-03T12:33:50.044-04:002012-04-03T12:33:50.044-04:00Wow.

Whether they enter puberty early, on-time, or late, if they are showered with love, if they know that there is someone in their life who truly loves, cherishes, protects and provides for them, they will be less likely to fall into bad habits (like drinking, drugs, losing their virginity early, etc.). <br /><br />Also, I think it's super important for a mom to teach her daughter that her body is special, beautiful, created by God, a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). That's something that my mum always taught me, and it stuck with me throughout my teen years.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785439685666583871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-59199098384256534012012-04-03T09:10:25.786-04:002012-04-03T09:10:25.786-04:00I remember hearing about this on Oprah years ago a...I remember hearing about this on Oprah years ago and freaking out.
