Endocrinologists warn that precocious puberty is an increasingly common trend and is in other words, the reduction of childhood. What is very curious is knowing that it is often caused by the same parents or the environment, since we allow or encourage behaviors that do not correspond to their age.
All stages of life are beautiful and have their importance in development. On the one hand, hypersexualization is a form of gender violence and is related to this advanced development. According to the adolescent child psychiatrist Andrea Esther Pellegrini this term “was created to define the representation of the child as a kind of miniature sexual adult , due to the presence of patterns of behavior, expressions, clothing or games that do not correspond to their maturation stage” .
During the 20th century, the age at which menstruation appears was decreasing in developed countries, mainly due to improvements in living conditions. But, in the last decades, to these positive factors several negative ones were added. The specialist Enrique Berner, comments that? the early onset of puberty is due to the early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis or an exaggerated production of female sex hormones. The latter, he pointed out, may have its origin in exogenous causes such as receiving estrogens through food, cosmetics or chemical substances such as pesticides. This shows that a bad diet can also be the cause.
