Things to consider

Some boys and girls experience puberty much earlier or later than other children. Both early and late puberty can run in families. This is puberty that happens early. In most cases, this is a variation of normal puberty. However, sometimes there’s a medical reason for it. Talk to your doctor if your daughter develops breast tissue and pubic hair before age 7 or 8, or if your son has an increase in testicle or penis size before age 9.

Delayed puberty

Sometimes, delayed puberty is caused by a medical reason. For example, malnutrition (not eating enough of the right foods) can cause it.

Signs of delayed puberty in girls include:

No development of breast tissue by age 14.

No periods for 5 years or more after the first appearance of breast tissue.

Signs of delayed puberty in boys include:

No testicle development by age 14.

Incomplete development of the testicles and penis 5 years after they first show signs of development. Talk to your child’s doctor if you think your child has delayed puberty. The doctor will examine your child. He or she also may order some tests to help find out the reason for the delay. These tests may include:

Blood tests to check hormone levels.

An X-ray of the wrist to check bone growth.

Chromosome (gene) studies.

A CT or MRI (imaging scans) of the head to look for a tumor or brain injury. Sometimes the cause can’t be found. When that happens, no treatment is needed. Sometimes, a cause is found. Those can usually be treated. For example, if your child doesn’t have right level of hormones, hormone medication may help.

Emotional changes

Many boys and girls will experience a wider range of emotions when they begin puberty. Sometimes it will feel like a “storm” of emotions, ranging from irritability to sadness. Your child may experience confidence issues for the first time in his or her life. Fortunately, emotions start to level out by the end of puberty. Most of the time, your child won’t have long-lasting issues with his or her emotions during puberty. However, if your child’s mood is more troubling than what you expect, or he or she seems depressed or has thoughts of hurting himself or others, contact your child’s doctor right away.

Do trees remember you?

They can count, learn and remember; nurse sick neighbors; warn each other of danger by sending electrical signals across a fungal network known as the “Wood Wide Web”; and, for reasons unknown, keep the ancient stumps of long-felled companions alive for centuries by feeding them a sugar solution through their roots.

nytimes.com - German Forest Ranger Finds That Trees Have Social Networks, Too

HÜMMEL, Germany — IN the deep stillness of a forest in winter, the sound of footsteps on a carpet of leaves died away. Peter Wohlleben had found what he was looking for: a pair of towering beeches. “These trees are friends,” he said, craning his neck to look at the leafless crowns, black against a gray sky. “You see how the thick branches point away from each other? That’s so they don’t block their buddy’s light.” Before moving on to an elderly beech to show how trees, like people, wrinkle as they age, he added, “Sometimes, pairs like this are so interconnected at the roots that when one tree dies, the other one dies, too.” Mr. Wohlleben, 51, is a very tall career forest ranger who, with his ramrod posture and muted green uniform, looks a little like one of the sturdy beeches in the woods he cares for. Yet he is lately something of a sensation as a writer in Germany, a place where the forest has long played an outsize role in the cultural consciousness, in places like fairy tales, 20th-century philosophy, Nazi ideology and the birth of the modern environmental movement. After the publication in May of Mr. Wohlleben’s book, a surprise hit titled “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate — Discoveries From a Secret World,” the German forest is back in the spotlight. Since it first topped best-seller lists last year, Mr. Wohlleben has been spending more time on the media trail and less on the forest variety, making the case for a popular reimagination of trees, which, he says, contemporary society tends to look at as “organic robots” designed to produce oxygen and wood.
