In girls, puberty typically begins with changes in the breasts—gradually becoming fuller or larger—followed by the onset of pubic and axillary hair growth. Some girls may also experience noticeable physical changes, such as a rapid increase in height or widening of the pelvis. Menarche (the first menstrual period) may also occur. During this developmental stage, it is important to closely monitor the child’s physical changes and ensure a balanced, nutritious diet.
