Growing Slow

Preventing Early Puberty in Our Children

By: Cai Everdeen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Why are more children entering puberty before they're ready—and what can parents do about it?

In this short book, I’ve done my best, as a concerned parent, to walk alongside other parents through the hidden forces that are quietly accelerating childhood: ultra-processed foods, household toxins, disrupted sleep, emotional stress, and screen overload. With warmth, clarity, and research-based insight, my goal is to help families understand what’s really happening—and to offer practical, empowering strategies to help protect our children’s natural timeline.

From nutrition and environment to daily rhythms and relationships, this is a roadmap for raising children who grow up slowly, safely, and on time.

Because childhood isn’t something to rush through—it’s something to protect.
