Is Your Child Growing up Too Fast? Check in Time So That ‘Too Much, Too Young’ Doesn’t Leave you with 'Too Little, Too Late'...
Lolita was a literary marvel or a sleaze roll, depending on how you look at it. In any case, whether inside Nabokov’s classic, or outside of it, sexually precocious children are a discomfiting idea to most of us, except maybe wannabe reality-show makers who would stop at nothing.
Sexual precocity is just one of the fallouts to be imagined in tandem with the surging global trend of children attaining early puberty. As if the unbridled consumerism of our times wasn’t already blurring the lines between childhood, adolescence and adulthood, there comes the distressing and confusing, er, period of puberty for children. While 9 to 13 years is considered the normal bracket for pubertal development – a sequence of physical changes – to start, imagine getting pregnant at 10! A girl in Jerez, Spain, all of 10 years, accomplished just that and gave birth to a baby girl last month, at an age when most others like her are only expecting siblings.
It is tempting to get into the moral and legal propriety of consensual sex between minors – the father is a boy of 13 – but choosing to restrict the discussion to its biological complications, we wonder what it is to be burdened with maternity at such a tender age. Dr. Nikita Trehan, Gynaecologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon, says, “It is a very bad idea, since bone development isn’t complete in young mothers. In addition, the mother and fetus will be competing for nutrients during pregnancy. The risk of stillbirths and other health-related problems with the baby increase too.”
