my daughter is 6 years old,weighing 21 kg and 118 cm tall(normal for her age),though she looks chubby.she is a darling child,had her milestones earlier than her contemporaries and stands 1st in school.she had fine hair all over when she was born and now she has thick hair on the scalp(as her paternal relatives).she consumes less of veggies,she is so fond of meat and fish tht she has them atleast twice a week(i never restricted because she was active and healthy).

2 days ago i noticed 2 hairs in her pubic area,2 cm and 1 cm each in the labia.its pigmented,straight  and thin.she has no breast buds or hair in the armpits.when she comes back after play,her sweat smelled(i dont remember if it did before).she has no other problems.i had menarche at 12.i dont remember having such things before 9 or so.
i feel as though i am dying,i am alarmed.please help this mother.

It sounds like she is entering puberty early (precocious puberty) - you need to take her to see her paediatrician (or GP to get a referral to paediatrics if you are in the UK). There are tests they can do to check whether or not she has precocious puberty, and if she does, they can treat it with medication to prevent menarche occurring at an early age.
