Question
My daughter was seven when she developed a lump in her breasts. By the time she turned ten, her breasts had grown significantly, resembling eggs in size. What are the developmental characteristics of a 10-year-old girl?
Answer
The growth and development period for girls typically spans from 12 to 18 years, but due to the improvement of modern living standards, development may occur earlier. Generally, there is some level of development by the age of 19. Therefore, your daughter’s situation may be normal growth and development. During this period, it is important to provide adequate nutrition and engage in moderate exercise to aid growth. If there are no other symptoms, her development should be normal.
