How old do children start to develop?

Patient's question:

Hello, my daughter is over eight years old but under nine. Currently, her right breast is slightly swollen, while the left one shows no reaction. So, I would like to ask, at what age do children typically start developing?

Doctor's answer:

The child's height and weight are within the normal range. Breast development occurs around the age of 12. Due to current dietary reasons, the child's development may be advanced. At the age of over 8, the development is too early, and a check-up is needed. Further examination is recommended. If it is determined to be precocious puberty, dietary adjustments will be necessary, such as reducing the intake of soy milk and fried chicken legs. Generally, normal development should occur around the age of 13. Of course, it may be slightly advanced now, but if it is too advanced, it could be considered precocious puberty.
