[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 175390, member: 1991"] difficult child 3 is definitely a late bloomer. I don't think he's lost all his baby teeth yet (he was very late beginning to lose them, too) and still hasn't got all his 12 year molars. He's been growing pubic hair for a couple of years and his top lip is JUST starting to get slightly darker hair on it. The pubic hair - that was funny. He didn't know what it was, thought it was abnormal and was plucking it out. easy child 2/difficult child 2 caught him with the tweezers, asked him what he was doing and he told her. So we had to sit him down AGAIN and tell him that pubic hair is a normal part of development; it's OK. He was both relieved and angry - angry that he'd been getting anxious and spending all that time tweezing, when it was normal! I wonder if the early starters are more likely to be difficult children due to the hormones zinging around the bodies of younger (and less socially capable) kids? In other words, a kid is difficult child-like BECAUSE of the early puberty and difficulty coping with the hormonal upheavals. Marg [/QUOTE]
