Do you have any answers or findings to what is causing kids nowadays to mature and develop physically faster than kids our generation?
For example, during my generation, on average, a girl would get her first menstruation at around age 13 or 14. Nowadays, it's at the age of 9 or 10.
Young primary kids lose their milk teeth earlier too.

Kids today are maturing faster mainly because of our changing societies also. Our societies now is very dynamic. Everything is working very fast. Even 2 or 3-year old kids are already going to school. During my time, kids can go to school at 4 or 5 years old. Also, kids are very much updated with the technology around especially the internet which can supply them with ample information about anything under the sun.
