Answers:
Listen to your dad. He knows what he's talking about. Puberty happens to every boy and girl at varying ages. Some just start puberty earlier than others. I know one girl in my daughter's class who entered puberty at 9. Some people are early bloomers, some average, and some are late bloomers. Everyone is different.
Our bodies are constantly changing from the day we are born until the day we die. Puberty is the period of time when children begin to mature biologically, psychologically, socially and cognitively. Girls start to grow into women and boys into men.
This process can take a year or even six years. This time period is when a child's body takes on those characteristics that define it sexually. Both males and females bodies will each take on a different shape. Keep in mind that everyone matures at their own pace, but that eventually we all catch up. Puberty leads to adolescence.
