Puberty is the stage of life when the body of a child transitions into an adult body capable of sexual
reproduction. Puberty is a normal and healthy part of development for girls and boys. For most girls, the
changes start between 8 and 12 years of age, with breast growth and then pubic and underarm hair

deepens.
