This is totally normal the same thing happened to my sister and I. Just be as kind as you can and explain that what deodorant does and that it is time to start using it. I can not stress enough to be real sensitive in the words you use. You don't want it to come off as if you are just saying to her, "you stink." I hope this was helpful.

Yes, it's normal. She may be getting ready to menstruate too. I think its something in the happy meals. hehe

Yes, she is now in development.....

Yeah, that is normal. I started sweating like that when I was about 8.

Yes, that is normal, though she is late for it. Time to get her deodorant.

You're 9 year old sister, is now entering puberty.
I babysit a 10 year old, and he is the same way.
It's apart of life. :)

ja.

Absolutely. Apocrine sweat glands produce fatty materials, which smell due to the presence of bacteria, causing BO. These glands do not become active until puberty.

Puberty can occur as young as age 7 in girls, although age 9 is the current average. Before age 7, it's considered precocious or "early" puberty. Your sister seems to be right on schedule.
