      <Abstract>Puberty is an important stage in children and adolescents development. It involves several somatic, hormonal and psycho-affective transformations. The physiological change must be carefully monitored in medical practice for an optimal management of this development.&#13;
&#13;
The starting age of puberty with secondary sexual characteristics development in Caucasians is 11-12 years for girls and 12-13 years for boys. These values are modified compared with previous decades. There are no certain scientific explanations of this fact.&#13;
&#13;
Precocious puberty involves the installation of secondary sexual characteristics before 8 years for girls and 9 years for boys, and needs a good collaboration between the medical doctors, parents and school psychologists.&#13;
&#13;
Depending upon the involvement of the hypothalamic pituitary axis, the precocious puberty can be gonadotropin-dependent puberty (always isosexual) named also the real precocious puberty or gonadotropin-independent (isosexual or heterosexual) named also the false precocious puberty. By recognizing and implementing the right treatment, long-term effects of precocious puberty can be reduced</Abstract>
