    Puberty in girls starts between 8-14 so you your daughter i might say is having a normal development. About 2 to 2 1/2 years after a girl's breasts begin to develop, she usually gets her first menstrual period

    My daughter is 10 years and 6 months an is now having her 2nd period, she had her first in March of this year.I started my period when I was 12 years old. I think it depends on the maturity of the child and the age the mom started her period.My daughter is well developed right now and I explain every aspect of life to her. I think it would be wise to just wait , be give your daughter the ground-work of what to expect,when she does have her period, so she wo'nt be so shoched when it does happen. Good Luck

    I was 8½ when I got my period and was at school assembly where we all used to sit crossed-legged on the floor. I hadn't a clue what was happening and I was so scared.

    Then I got bullied cos I had a 34D chest at age 10! It was embarrassing, and I got bullied for having boobs.

    I hope your girl has gets it when she's a bit older, as having periods young is not fun.

    There is no way to be sure but is she is developing already probably soon i was almost 11 when i started mine . Everyone is different but usually once a girl starts to develop that follows.

    I was 10 & not ready. I gave my daughters information & neccessary items at 10 to keep in their closets so they were prepared when the time came.

    It is quite possible she is going through precocious puberty. If so she will probably start any time.
