Precocious Puberty

My son is almost 8 years old. He has recently shown some early signs of puberty. Bone x-rays showed advanced bone age of 9 years. Lab results for hormones were normal. Is this true precocious puberty? How often does this happen in boys? Does this mean he will progress rapidly through puberty if he is not treated with medications? What are our options?
