these are early signs of puberty in girls and it is normal to develop these after 8 years of age. if she is otherwise healthy, no need to worry

Dear Parent
Yes, it would be better for her if you discuss and guide her before hand usually after a year and half of these early signs girls start their monthly cycle.
