[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 84262"] I went to google and typed in "puberty starting younger" and found several articles that pretty much said the same thing; that 7 is considered normal for puberty to start in girls. I'm posting a link to one for you to review. From what I read, I would get a second opinion if your doctor thinks it's 'normal' for a 5 year old to begin puberty, especially with the behavior issues. If he said it wasn't unusual and you weren't seeing such extreme behavior, I might feel differently. [url="http://www.news.vcu.edu/news.aspx?v=detail&nid=1377"]http://www.news.vcu.edu/news.aspx?v=detail&nid=1377[/url] Other than that, I have nothing to add to what SRL posted, but I did want to welcome you to the board. It's a great place for support. If the specialists won't listen, find one that will. What you're describing is not typical behavior for a 5 year old. It's not normal for an older sibling to be afraid of a younger sibling. Trust your instints. [/QUOTE]
