Question
Is the growth and development of a 10-year-old child considered early maturation?
Answer
The growth and development of a 10-year-old child is regarded as a normal onset of puberty. It is normal for girls to start developing between the ages of eight and eight and a half. However, it is important to reduce the intake of foods containing plant estrogens, such as soybeans, honey, and royal jelly, as these foods may help promote early maturation.
