Puberty in children starts in girls when they are about 11 and boys when they are about 13, but some are earlier or later than this. For girls, they start to grow breasts, under-arm and pubic hair, they grow taller and start to have periods. Periods happen about every four weeks. It is important to remember that periods take a while to get into a rhythm, and that they happen AFTER ovulation. This means that about once a month, the ovary releases an egg. If the egg is not fertilised, a period occurs and the body readies itself for the next cycle. These physical changes take a while to occur, so you have time to adjust to the changes. In boys, they grow taller, develop bigger muscles, and also grow under-arm and pubic hair. Boys do not grow breasts like girls, but some may notice annoyingly itchy nipples, this is because some small changes around the nipple normally occur. The penis gradually grows a little larger and facial hair develops. The voice also changes, becoming deeper. All of these things happen gradually, giving you time to adjust. It is important for both boys and girls to eat a healthy diet, get plenty of exercise, and plenty of sleep during these years.
