How to deal with puberty???

sal77

Hi everyone!

Am wondering if anyone could give some advice on how to deal with a teenager with LD?

My daughter is 11, although mentally 7, and started puberty at 9 years old.

Her behavior is getting worse and its getting hard to cope with her sometimes and hard to make her understand what is happening to her body and how she feels.

Thanks x
