Almost 9 yr old daughter very emotional these days… beginning stages of puberty?
My oldest will be 9 in September. She shows no physical signs of puberty, but she’s very very emotional these days. Tonight she said something that kind of stopped me in my tracks. “Ugh, I don’t know why I’m so angry then really sad then really happy.” She was referring to the rollercoaster most women are familiar with. Is this a beginning stage of puberty? It’s hard for me to remember exactly. I went through it fairly early. I started menstruating at 10, but I had the physical signs before I remember the emotional ones. Some of her peers definitely are already maturing physically so I know it is possible. I guess I’m just shocked a bit. I need to have “the talks” with her soon I suppose. She has been asking a lot about periods and how “exactly” are babies made. Advice? #relationships source
