CLT for the squares: a finite fourth moment gives a normal limit

Let {Xn,n≥1}\{X_n,n\ge1\} be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with finite (non-zero) fourth moment. Let Yn=(X12+⋯+Xn2)/nY_n=(X_1^2+\dots+X_n^2)/n. Which of the following is true? As n→∞n\to\infty, n(Yn−E[X12])\sqrt n\bigl(Y_n-E[X_1^2]\bigr):
