Girls and boys with a history of family conflict often experience stress, which can accelerate the onset of puberty, leading them to reach puberty early. Conversely, those with warm, stable family ties, which provide a supportive environment, tend to experience less stress, potentially delaying the onset of puberty, making them reach puberty relatively late.
