Peripubescence is the phase of development that is at the first onset of puberty or in the early stages of puberty.
It is commonly believed that "puberty" begins when secondary sexual characteristics begin to appear, such as when axillary hair ("armpit" hair), and pubic hair appear. In fact, puberty begins before any of these obvious signs appear.
Hormonal changes which precede obvious signs of puberty may begin at ages 7, 8, 9, or 10. This stage is the prepubescent stage of human development.
