My son, Ben s 16 and he shaves about once a month. He gets peach fuzz that you

can see in the sun quite a bit!

Excuse me for jumping in here...this just occurred to me: does Nick have to

shave yet?

Olivia gets to play tennis most Saturday mornings with a big group of kids who

also have ds, and I have consulted the moms there as far as puberty and girls -

I am told the same thing, that is girls tend to develop sooner. Well, that is

such a worrisome idea to me, because I was such an early bloomer anyway - I got

my period when I was not quite 11. So here's Olivia, she is 8 and 1/2, and she

is constantly mistaken for a 4 year old! I do not want to think about how it

will be to explain how to handle monthly menses, and deal with mood swings. :-(

Loree, I am with you about the looks of surprise about our kids' age!

Nick's still riding the cute (looks like he is 8-10 years old) wave and he's 16.

Re: Re: Puberty

It's hysterical because looks like he is about 7 or 8 years old and

he walks by a group of females and nods his head and says " hey girls " with a

semi deep voice...LOL So, I'd say they go more by age than size

Fortunately at the moment, the girls think that's really cute...don't know

how long he can ride that wave...haha

& gt; & gt; Okay for those experienced moms out there, when did you children

start

& gt; & gt; going through puberty (both DS and non-DS). I don't know if the

problems

& gt; & gt; that we are having is either puberty related or ADHD related (I

have a

& gt; & gt; call into his behavioral specialist will get a call back hopefully

& gt; & gt; tomorrow).

& gt; & gt;

& gt; & gt; Thanks,

& gt; & gt;

other
