I know a family whose daughter began to “develop” at age 6 and was put on blockers.

Was 6 an appropriate age for puberty?

Full disclosure: There have been some nasty long-term consequences for the girl. I doubt that the dots will be connected but I wonder if some of it didn’t begin with those hormone injections.

That's a shame, poor girl. My daughters developed normally in their early teen years, so I haven't seen this happen. Guess my kids were late bloomers (compared to 6-year-olds).

Puberty blockers can make a child infertile. In about 10-20 years the question will be how did we let this happen? And we will be once again supposed to listen to those that are now advocating for the use of these drugs as the “experts” and how they “didn’t know” and need to sue and make money over the agenda they pushed. But we know! As for a 6 year old going through puberty, there may be a way to slow the process down without irreparable damage. But I am very leery of the use of puberty blockers as a whole.
