Many people have probably made the comment, either as a passing remark or as real observation. The mention of ''Children of nowadays grow so fast'' is now a common one; but have you ever stopped to wonder why this might be so? or if this is a good or bad thing.

The truth actually is children develop too fast nowadays.

During the time of most of our parents, puberty used to start around the early teen years but now, the age for puberty keeps dropping at an alarming rate.

In a normal situation, puberty is determined by your body due to several factors like Gender, Nutrition, Health, etc.

The brain is the governor over your body and the brain knows when you start to need certain things so it sends its ''messengers'' hormones, to create what you need at the time you need it.

For example, if your brain considers several factors going on in your body and decides that you are ready to bear a child as a woman, it sends hormones to start giving you wider hips, etc.

You can get pregnant before your brain has determined based on several factors taken into consideration, that you are ready. In this case, you might not yet have the fully developed hips and when such a person tries to have a baby, it might lead to conditions like VVF or even death.

Good nutrition acts like the fuel that supplies the body with the hormones needed for most of this development. You might have heard people say if you feed your children beans, they will become tall.

This is not too far from the truth as beans is a rich source of protein and protein is needed for the natural growth and development of a child. This can also be adduced as a good reason why a 13 year old in a developed country usually looks more mature than a 13 year old of the same sex in a developing country. Food is not one of their problems and when they eat, they eat balanced diet unlike when many people in developing countries eat, they eat to survive.

That is the normal case of puberty and how it was intended to be naturally, but nowadays what we have is the abnormal puberty called Precocious puberty and has been linked to Plastics. Yes, plastics.

Many experts believe that xenoestrogens, which are actually toxins and which act like oestrogen in the body are responsible for this modern trend of precocious puberty. Xenoestrogens confuse the brain to premature development by mimicking how normal hormones work in the body. They are endocrine disruptors and can be found in plastics like Household plastics, Children's toys, etc.

The only way to prevent this poisoning is to avoid giving food packaged in plastics to your child, protect from pesticides, and also follow all that has already been written about plastics here: http://laffhub.com/blog/moi-moi-the-silent-killer

For most of us, our children are our lives and it would hurt us to think we might be involved in anything that might be harmful to them.

But if your dream is to see your daughter wear bra at maybe 6 years of age or your son have a mustache at 9 or 10 years, then you can try the opposite of all that is written here.

Really Really insightful. Thanks @Laffhub.com for always giving us real issues . I want to add that
Processed foods , canned foodsfor kids also make children " Agric" like they say . These foods contain traces of chemicals in form of preservatives .
It also makes menopause quicker . Now, 35 year olds are already in their menopause . Natural foods and less of White and non white Maggi

So educative

I really love this. I actually read it to the end

I will actually follow all the rules here

This is garbage, Absolute Baloney.

Dadee007 cooked this broccoli up his _ass for weeks and dished it cold for u guys to feast on. The saying that children grow faster nowadays is unfounded and to a great deal subjective.

Look at the layman expressions and examples he keeps citing.

Your brain is no politician my friend.

Look at all the lame responses from honeyadi! She seems disoriented in place.

this can only happen when the one eyed man rule the blind.

You are correct. Most especially the females. Back in those days, a girl does not starting menstruating or developing mounds until 12 or 13 but these days you see little kids of 9 and 10 already showing the secondary sexual characteristics. No wonder they also age very fast. I came across an 18 years old girl and could not believe she was a teenager. She looked so developed with lots of curves. She could pass for a 28 years old lady.
The boys are not left out. You see guys in the early teens (14 and 15) already having beards and hairy chest. The major culprit is most likely the diet and environment. Too many junks and processed foods these days.

U just said rubbish, bob

If you have a different view or explanation to this phenomenon, you can share here please. This is a forum for educated people...mostly.

I take this all back. I just saw your profile and I can see your prominence in the gaming and dating sections. It can only mean one thing- You probably are Juvenile...or young at heart. Your tirade is accepted.

Can the two-eyed man show us the way then

hhmmm

Dey dia
when dem go dey feed pikin with cow food
they are indirectly sucking cow's bweast

The second pic looks like OSIBANJO

Mhmm

Why did I even come here

I find the idea in the write-up too far-fetched. Were there no plastics those days? How about children who hardly eat from plastics these days, who still look bigger than their ages?

Me-thinks children develop faster nowadays simply because of CIVILIZATION. A 12 year old of today knows 100 times more than a child of the same age would, 50 years ago. This quick mind growth signals the brain for an attendant quick physical development. That's why they say information is power. Times have changed. In those days, children don't dare talk. They are never heard from, only seen. Freedom has arrived.

This is way more coherent and acceptable than that plastic theory, though it may be totally correct.

Don't judge those that are prominent in those categories based on his comment, his own case is just like that,and bet me, he will soon understand.

Very educative write up! Thanks for sharing @ OP.

Abeg, these type of write up should be encouraged to hit the front page and not politically based topics
which usually leaves us more divided along ethnic and religious lines
