Everyone should try everything once I say.

I was 7 when I started wearing a bra and 10 when my period started. She
said that girls usually follow their mothers and since I was very early it
was not surprising that Kathleen is. In addition there are almost 18 girls
in Kathleen's class, I know for a fact that at least 5 or 6 in her class
have breasts and one little girl is even further along the development line
than she is.

By the way, our pediatrician is the chief of internal medicine at Children's
so I guess she might have a good idea of whether something is normal or not.

Kathleen started to develop breasts at 8 and some odd and end hair!
Needless to say I rushed her to the doctor who said she was perfectly
normal. Since that day she has developed rapidly. At 9.5 (one more
month)
she is fully matured physically, growing daily and I swear she'll be
borrowing my bra's within no time - and my shoes - she wears a size
8.5-9.

I have no idea why your doctor considers onset of menarche at 8 to be
"perfectly normal". Little girls are not meant to be mature women at the
age
of 8, or 9, or 10. They're certainly not prepared emotionally to deal with
the sexual attention they WILL get as a result of being sexually mature.
Not
to mention that early puberty puts her at higher risk for breast cancer
(and
by the way, could have been treated with estrogen-antagonist medication).
I
think you were right to rush her to the doctor. I think he did you a
disservice.

Actually, you are somewhat right. Dr. Lapke said that it's about 2 years
after the breast buds start that girls get their periods. So I assume it
will be about 10 or so. In addition, she is very tall for her age (tallest
in her class) and projected to be about my height 5'8". Right now she is
almost 5 feet tall. I'm assuming that this coming year will be a very big
growth stage for her. She's wearing size 0 for pants and size 9 shoes (well
some 8.5). I do know about the emotional side to this issue too as I had to
handle it. Again, I think having gone through it early I can help Kathleen
adjust too. Her best friend is exactly at the same stage of development as
she is so hopefully they can go through this rite together.

I don't think Shirley said she had started her period, only that her
breasts were growing and her physique was changing, that can start as
early as 8, though 8 is on the early side, from experience with my
daughters and their friends those that started developing around 9
tended to have their period by 11. Interestingly those girls are very
short and stocky/dumpy type physiques, not sure if early development
stunts the growth or if a stockier type body shape leads it's self to
earlier puberty. I know the earlier you get your period the shorter you
will be as once it starts upward growth is slowed considerably (why put
energy into going up when you need it for padding and filling) but not
sure if their is a correlation with simply pubescent development.
