hello i just thought that people should be informed of this. Preschool puberty happens and happens too early. Even though preschool puberty is rare there ahve been clusters of children found with early puberty. Physicians beleive that although the casue is not certain children could be exposed to certain cosmetics, drugs, and or contaminants in the air which cause them to develope premature puberty. The majority of preschool puberty patients are exposed to drugs which were prescribed wrong. premature puberty can cause testosterone levels to multiply at an exceeding rate which is unhealthy for a preschooler. for more information you can visit the site http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/17/science/17pub...

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
It's an interesting subject, and one that links into a discussion I heard this morning about how childhood, in most sense, seems to end earlier than it used to (OK, cost of living tends to mean people move out of home later, but other than that most things happen earlier) - it's not just hormonal differences, but also the emotional differences - we're live in a much more "paranoid" society now than 50+ years ago (there were different challenges then) and a higher proportion of children are exposed to "adult" subjects at an earlier age through television and their peers. (drugs, violence, sex). I look around now and it seems that so many teenagers want to be adults before they get there in years, so dress accordingly (well, attempt to) that they seem to skip 5 years of their life.
This subject also links into another point I often think about - in the last 60 years we've introduced to many new chemicals into our lives and who really knows the impact of them? Short term the impact may be minimal, but what about long term? Everything from household cleaners, to soap and man made fabrics in clothing... plus air "fresheners" (a pet hate of mine - what about opening a window?), preservatives, plastic containers.... and many other things. What are they doing to us?
