A year ago during my daughter's health control, who actually is seven years old, for pollen allergy suspect, the doctors noticed the beginning of secondary sexual characters as: breast growing, pubic hair and consequently I told the doctors that my child was having, since several months, heavy sweating too.

The doctors inspecting the problem advised me to monitor the early transformation best known as: "Early puberty".

After the initial sense of anxiety and confusion, I thought to myself: "It's unbelievable, my little child was becoming already a woman".

I decided to assure a healthy future to my daughter, following with much attention the endocrinologist's advices as:

• Pelvic Ecography: to monitor the ovaries, uterus and follicles dimension to see if the child is ready for menstruation.

• Left wrist X ray: to control the bone growing since if becomes too soon there is the probability the child's height stops with the beginning of menstruation, risking to remain under-average regarding to her classmates.

• Blood exam: hormonal dosage DEHA-S (sexual hormones. By checking the hormones dosage to value the sexual glands function either female or male), glycemia and diabetes.

The early puberty also involves the children from the age of 9 to 14 years, with following signs:

- developing armpit, pubic and facial hair;

- penis growing and testicular enlargement.

The early puberty for little girls begins between the age of 8 to 13 years.

While for the female height amount begins with the breast growing, for male the growing starts at mid premature development.

Psychological consequences.

An important phase and most of all not to under estimate is the "psychological disturbs" which may provoke the early puberty in the child, who faces physical transformations for which still is not ready and causes in her a sense of diversity and isolation towards her classmates.

After learning that also my child is in the early puberty phase, a question which worried me was: "How to explain to my little child her sexual transformation? To my baby who still plays with dolls and loves the fairy tales?

The answer I achieved to find only in the deep of my heart, creating with her a very confidential and lovely dialogue, explaining her with clear and comprehensive words , what was happening to her body.

We can do a lot to monitor the early puberty following few, but precise rules:

- to control the body weight, avoiding to become obese or overweight;

- to educate the children to a daily physical activity;

- to insert in their hypercaloric diet, meat without xeno-estrogens (giving

hormones to fatten and grow the animals rapidly) as: chicken, beef and

pork's meat.

These chemical substances are present in:

- DDT (pesticide for agricultural production);

- industrial detersive;

- canned food.

The overexposition of such hormones causes an increase of women cancer to:

- breast, uterus, endometrium and ovaries;

and for men to:

- prostate, testicular and male sterility.

So, to prevent the early puberty: "WATCH OUT TO THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK".
