Gill Lough – Helping your child develop a healthy sexuality

I want to wear a bra like my friends.

An 11-year-old asked if she could wear a bra although it was clear to her mother that it was unnecessary at her stage of breast development.

It can be hard for children who develop later than their friends to accept that everyone grows at a different rate.

There are bra-like tops available for younger girls and your daughter may feel happier with one of these instead of a bra.

However more importantly she needs lots of reassurance that her breasts will develop soon, in their own time.
