If you are worried about seeing a growth spurt and early signs of puberty in your child, such as breast bud development, testicle and penis enlargement, pubic and underarm hair, adult body odor, or acne, taking your child to the pediatrician is the next step.
It can be hard to remember everything you want to ask the pediatrician. Here is advice about what to say to the pediatrician and how to say it.
To get started, think about the signs you have noticed in your child. When you talk to the pediatrician, ask if they notice the same signs.
