Why do Modern Girls Attain Puberty Earlier?
It is a great concern of the modern moms why their daughters get periods at such an early stage.
“Compared to the time when I turned mature and got periods, why did my daughter attain maturity at such an early age?” wonders mom of an eight-year-old girl.
During the last few decades, there has been a sharp rise in the number of girls reaching puberty at younger and younger ages. Reports state that even some girls as young as 7 years-old have started menstruating. It has become a well-known fact that the current generation girls attain maturity at a very early age compared to the previous generation. This change is seen almost all over the world. Studies are still going on to find out the causes why young girls may be entering puberty earlier.
A recent pediatric study says that 10 percent of white girls have earlier breast development at the young age of 7, which is 3 years earlier than the norm that has been established.
There are various factors that cause this change. Modern lifestyle, social issues, hormonal changes due to emotions, environment and pollution, etc. affect the process of attaining puberty.
Some important causes for earlier puberty
1) Hormones
The main reason for girls having an early period is said to be the exposure to estrogen hormones from foods and other organic pollutants in the environment.
2) Environment
It is believed that bisphenol A or BPA in the environment is triggering early puberty. Some toxins in the modern cosmetics such as shampoo preservatives also are believed to affect the onset of female puberty at an early stage. The phytoestrogens found in plants also affect the body growth.
3) Pollution
Exposure to chemicals like phthalates through water and other sources can cause a large increase in breast development which is a major sign of puberty in girls. Pollutants in milk, certain food items and meat can also one of the factors causing early periods to your daughter. Plastics and insecticides that are more used in modern lifestyle can break down into chemicals similar to estrogen.
4) Obesity
The continuing epidemic of obesity in children due to modern foods hastens the process

11 days ago we made a mad dash out of town to be with family. The following day, my sweet father-in-law, Bob, was admitted to the hospital, and 3 days ago he passed away. If it seems our posts have not been our usual over the past couple of weeks, it’s because our life hasn’t been it’s usual. It’s been hard. Really freaking hard. And confusing and scary and gut wrenching and heart breaking. But I was also told that upon being admitted to the hospital, he was quick to ask the nurses if they’d seen that little girl on CBS earlier in the week … then proudly announced that was HIS granddaughter :) The very next day, Mayhem and I sat in our car in the hospital parking lot decorating paper Christmas trees for his room. And even though she couldn’t go in to visit with him, I’m thankful for the magic of technology that allowed her to be able to FaceTime with him one last time and show him that she was taking excellent care of his dog. The past couple of weeks have been especially brutal on my husband, his mother and his sister. So if you have a prayer, healing thought or good vibe to spare, I’d ask you to send one their way. We’ve got a long road ahead of us to heal from such an incredible and unexpected loss, but we know that smiling and laughing are big keys to our own healing and he’d want us to do as much of that as possible. Thanks for all the love you send our way – you have no idea how many of your comments and emails over the past two weeks have given me the strength I needed (especially on Mayhem’s birthday!) We’re so grateful for you!!!
