In the medical setting, parents will talk over the teen. Try to encourage the parent to allow the teen to speak for themselves, if the teen seems willing.

Sarah, I have a question for you! Why do you think girls puberty starts early as 8. When I was learning about this in 5th grade it was at around 11 in age. Why did it drop down to 8 years? Their not even in 5th grade yet if they start puberty at 8, giving them no childhood whatsoever.
