early development in young girls | a conversation with wral's amanda lamb

Published Jul. 17, 2009

If you're the parent of a young girl, chances are you are well aware of how early many seem to be developing. Some 13-year-olds can easily pass for 21 and elementary school aged girls are being mistaken for teenagers.

It is something I am concerned about as a mother with two young daughters, and particularly with my third grader.

If you're experiencing this you'll defintely want to watch WRAL reporter Amanda Lamb's story next week, which explores what's causing this early development and some of the challenges it poses for mothers, daughters and doctors.

Amanda and I discussed some of what she learned while working on the story in one of our studios this morning which you can watch here.

So be sure to watch or set your DVR for WRAL's 6 p.m. newscast on Monday July 20, 2009.

And come back and tell us about your experiences.

Is it Enfamil?

Doesn't this have something to do with the chemicals they put in food or something?

Winston, when I was chatting with Amanda this morning we did talk about milk. I switched to Organic. What do you use?

I seem to recall a story about the large quantities of hormones present in many of the meat products we consume. Is this believed to be a factor?

Buheezaphat: The subject of chemicals comes up as well.

i heard it was bush's fault.

Seriously, quit feeding your children processed food and meat and milk laced with growth hormones and antibiotics. It isn't natural... And quit buying them sweat shorts with "Juicy" and "Booty" on the trunk side... The Prostitot line adds at least four years to little girls..

Angela, I'm 48 and live alone. I work with lots of women and I do know they use Enfamil. What did women do before the advent of 'on the shelf' baby milk and why don't they do it now?

LOL @ Rhone. No woman should ever wear shorts or pants of any sort that have writing on the bum.

Tyrhone: I was actually telling Amanda that I do not allow shorts or sweats with any writing on the rear. She said that she doesn't either. -Angela

Winston - perhaps more women did breast-feeding but a lot of women can't or don't want to go thru the pain it brings.
