Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 and a half years old. She has always been in good health, just a bit thin. When do children develop?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is normal for girls to begin developing around the age of 12. During this time, it is important to pay close attention and observe. There may be a menstrual period, and during menstruation, it is essential to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Rest is also crucial. The age of onset should not be earlier than 8 years old and no later than 16 years old. During the growth period, children should focus on balanced nutrition, a reasonable diet, adequate sleep, and engage in more outdoor activities.
