  • Why puberty is occurring earlier than in prior decades
  • The effects of early puberty on mental health
  • Racial and ethnic differences in the age of puberty onset
  • Entering puberty with social media as a backdrop
  • What parents at home can do—and pediatricians in the office can counsel—to prepare the whole family for puberty.
