Social concerns:
Due to early puberty, a child is may be taller than other
children of her/his age. It is important to treat children
according to their actual age rather their apparent age, because
children tend to develop self-esteem and behave according to how
they are treated. Parents of children with precocious puberty
should tell teachers and other responsible adults about this
important relationship.
A child may feel embarrassed by the physical effects of puberty
as all children want to look and act like their friends. It is
helpful to tell the child that all girls and boys normally
experience puberty, but for her/his, it has occurred sooner than
usual. It is important to tell a child that the changes in
her/his body are normal. The child should be allowed to
participate in his/her usual activities, which may include
spending the night with a friend, athletics and extracurricular
activities. Encourage your child to discuss with you worries
that he/she may be having.
It is not necessary to tell anyone about your child’s problem;
if, however, they ask because of visible growth in height and
breast development and you wish to discuss this with them,
explain that your child is perfectly normal but has started
puberty at an earlier than normal age. If your child is
receiving injections, you can explain that they are given to
temporarily stop puberty, which assists these children in
achieving an acceptable adult height. As it’s a rare condition
and not a lot of information is out there on public platforms,
it’s important to explain it properly and tell them that it’s
not a lifelong treatment but important treatment in order to
have a normal start into their adult life.

do not tell anybody as it can become a stigma for your child.
