pg32  How did you know this? The Tanner stages in FA simply list pubarche and breast buds developing in the same stage without stating which comes first. Thanks! +5

Found these notes written into my FA, unknown where they came from but has gotten me questions correct thus far.

Females: Thelarche -> Pubarche -> growth spurt -> Menarche
