For girls. puberty can start anywhere between the ages of 8-13 years (and sometimes earlier or later) but often the first changes happen around 10 or 11 years. For boys. the first changes often happen a bit later than they do for girls, somewhere between 10 and 15 years.
It may seem like kids are growing up faster these days. But central precocious puberty (CPP) is a rare condition. It happens when the body matures sooner -- perhaps years earlier -- than expected. Puberty usually starts around age 7 1/2 in girls and around age 9 in boys. For some children, such as those who are African-American or Hispanic, normal puberty may happen as early as age 6 in girls and age 8 in boys. But with CPP, signs of puberty, such as budding breasts and body hair, show up much sooner than parents might anticipate. It's more common for girls. When it does happen in boys, there's a good chance there's an underlying, potentially serious medical cause that needs to be treated.
