Early puberty is on the rise, especially in Indian metro cities. Signs like early breast development in girls, body odour, acne, unwanted hair growth, mood swings, and sudden emotional changes are becoming increasingly common. These changes don’t just mean your child is "growing up fast" — they can deeply affect their physical and emotional well-being. This shift is often linked to factors such as high screen time and excessive blue light exposure, hormone-disrupting chemicals found in processed foods and plastics, poor diet and sleep routines, childhood obesity, and the stress of fast-paced urban lifestyles. If you notice early signs of puberty in your child, it’s important to consult a paediatrician or an endocrinologist. Early intervention can help support their health, development, and confidence in the long run.
