Well if they have small trees let them shave need to show them how .I have four girls great question.10-to13 good luck when she hits the teen😁
I was 10 or 11, I was picked on about it for over a year at that point and refused to wear shorts until I could. So my mom finally let me. By then I was so self conscious of my body I still wouldn’t wear shorts. Not saying this will happen to your daughter-every child is different but you could always ask her why, or perhaps let her shave with your supervision if that would make you feel better, I had to start with all electric shaver, did that for a year then started with a regular razor. But maybe there’s a place you guys could compromise.
Whenever she is getting insecure about her leg hair. I don’t want her to have something to feel embarrassed about.
Never shave!!! Use wax or cream instead
I let my daughter start at 10. Not because I thought she was old enough but because the legs on her hair was dark enough and she felt very self conscious. Her legs are it though, she doesn’t have hair under her arms
She’s old enough when it makes her feel uncomfortable. Her self esteem is more important than what age you feel it is “old enough”

I believe if she has really dark hair then 11 definitely sounds ok. You don’t want her to be bullied for it. You also don’t want her to be self conscious about it. But if it’s not really noticeable then maybe 13?
She’s ready if she asks all the time, show her how to do it right and let her be…these days 11 isn’t that young.
If she’s asking then she’s feeling self conscious. And could be getting comments at school. Don’t let her get insecure because you think it’s too young, girls start this younger these days and I think you should listen to her, and show her properly before she tries herself and cuts herself.
I got made fun of in 7th and 8th grades because I didn’t shave because my Dad didn’t want me to, but I had like Sherwood Forest and got made fun of (yes, even back in 1967 and 1968). I told my older sister and she showed me how to shave my legs. Of course, Dad blew a gasket, but she sat him down and said it was time. It’s not a silly question and you can weigh all the responses you get, but in the long run, you will have to make that decision yourself with your daughter. Talk to her and see if kids are making fun of her and other things.
I have never understood moms asking this question . If she has hair on her legs and it is upsetting her…LET HER SHAVE HER LEGS!!!

Have her use NAIR. Much safer than shaving and if you use it long enough, the hair doesn’t grow back as quickly.

Better to teach her the right way safely, then have her hurt herself from using the wrong, or someone else’s, razor.

I was 9. It’s her body an she should be able to be comfortable with it how she desires. So if she is asking then she isn’t comfortable with herself and having hairy legs. My oldest was 10 when she started shaving her legs but she didn’t start her period till she was 14. My other daughter was 11 bc it didn’t bother her like her sister. My youngest just turned 12 and she doesn’t want to do it but I told her we would probably start soon bc her legs are hairy. So if your child is asking then it’s time to teach her and stop playing this game of just bc you the parent doesn’t want her to means she shouldn’t bc that’s not how it works. It’s her body not yours and if she is feeling uncomfortable to the point that she is begging an pushing the issue then that means she is ready and she is old enough to do it.

I’d let her decide, especially if it’s something that’s important to her. I’d definitely allow her before she starts high school.
I had my period at 11 and started shaving at 10. My daughter just turned 9 and asked about shaving her legs. She has super thick black hair on her legs, I may consider it for the summer
My 6 year old asked if she could shave hers and I explained when she’s a bit older she can as 6 is way too young
I taught my daughter’s with a play razor at about six. As soon as they started getting hair, not just on legs, under arms and vagina. I let them shave where the hair was. About 10 years old
Me and my sisters started at 13

11 is about when all my daughters started.
Mine started at 10 lol
I remember being made fun of because I had very dark hair & was very sheltered so I didn’t really know about such things. I had a friend help me on a sleepover because her older sister told me it was time.
I’d say Jr high. I was made fun of and was so self conscious. I hated dresses, skirts and shorts
I started at 11. If you don’t feel comfortable allowing shaving maybe you could try NAIR as an alternative instead
I was 10, I was teased non stop for having hair on my legs. My girl what’s your shave whenever I will let her.
I would say if she is asking then teach her how.

I would let my daughter, it’s also probably self confidence too. Get an electric one.
When she feels uncomfortable about it and asks you if she can probably because of some backlash at school
Start of highschool 
When she reached middle school she will be teased in gym if she has hair on her legs
I was 9. My mother gave me an electric shaver so I wouldn’t cut myself. If she’s asking, she’s probably ready.
My 12 yr old asked but she has platinum blonde hair. I told her she is old enough to shave but that if it doesn’t bother her and you can’t really see it to wait as long as she can. When she feels uncomfortable I will teach her.
I have never, now 81 ,never felt the need.

I was 9, I’m planning on waiting until then with my daughter as well but she’s got dark hair like I do and is very hairy so she may start sooner if she makes a big deal about it. I feel like 11 is already behind the curve. Kids are hitting puberty earlier now than they used too. I bet most girls her age have already been saving for awhile. No kid wants to be the hairy sheltered one.

I think if she notices it and it bothers her then it is time. My daughter has very dark hair so it was very noticeable. She started shaving in about 3rd grade. She’s done well and never had an issue.

My little sister bugged my mom about shaving when she was about 10 and I was 12 and my mom would say no you’re to young, well my sister told me she would get picked on by kids at school and I told her I’d teach her since mom wouldn’t. Well my mom was banging on the bathroom door and it startled her and she cut herself with the favor all the way up her shin. My mom was mad and punished my ass but in the end let her keep doing it bc we told her what was happening. So my point is talk to her and ask her why this important to her, without any judgement and then teach her bc she’s going to do it one way or another. wouldn’t you want her to share that with you? She’s at an age where puberty is happening, next is her period, I got my period at 12 years old at school. She’s developing and she probably has a good reason she just has to be able to confide in you not just hear NO.
I literally just showed my 11 year old daughter the proper way to shave for the first time this week it was more of a confidence thing.
I let my 13 year old shave her legs but only just past the knees since she’s now a young lady
I started around 11 because that’s around the time I started my monthly as well
Honestly I was 9 and being made fun of for the hair on my legs (very dark hair) so my Mom taught me to shave my legs. If she’s asking there’s probably a reason why and personally I’d let my daughter.

I dont see it as an age thing. Are her legs hairy? If so she is probably being made fun of at school. I wasnt aloud to shave until I was 16 and i had a world of hurt behind it. All the other grls saw my legs and bullied me. If your not comfortable at first have her in a swimsuit and do it for her until she gets the just herself and you as a mom are comfortable with it.

The time to let them shave their legs is when they’re self-conscious about it. My daughter started when she was 9. She has pale skin and dark hair. I felt bad for her because I have no hair on my legs or arms.

Just the fact that she is asking should be an indication and a perfect opportunity for a parent to provide a safe way. It can be a bonding experience too.

Whenever she is being called names and ask you. She is embarrassed already or she wouldn’t be asking. If she doesn’t have much hair it is because her friends might be. She will get bored really quickly if there is nothing to shave. This is small stuff. Wait until it is something really big to sweat it.

Take her to get laser hair removal. Don’t let her start the shaving rigmarole.
Hopefully doing this she has minimal hair regrowth in her future.

In 5th grade I refused to wear shorts or Capris until my mom let me shave my legs and she taught me how.
10 or 11 , maybe earlier depending on the kid
When she’s ready honestly
I think I was 11 but my mum would only take me to get waxed I wasn’t allowed to shave
I would suggest laser
When they start jr high. They will get picked on.
I was 15 (wasn’t allowed) I got teased an I very dark thick hair. I’ve been letting my daughter shave since she was 10, shes 11 now. Half the time she forgets but I don’t want her getting teased like I did. Right now her legs look like her dad’s lol she said it’s too much work…

5th grade for myself then my daughter asked a couple years ago and I let her start the summer going into 5th grade… girls are picked on for stupid things like this— I sat down and showed her and got her a good razor and she has done well- by that point she started puberty- it was time to let her start growing up and learning to shave especially her underarms… Honestly I think it’s the perfect time to start sharing the importance of good hygiene….

I would say when she feels uncomfortable with having hair on her legs. Young girls are going through puberty earlier these days. It can be embarrassing if she’s wearing a dress or shorts…Maybe try Nair. When I was a little girl, I found my sister’s razor in the bathtub and sliced up my legs by accident trying to shave. I was too afraid my mom would say no. I have scars on my legs to this day and I’m 53.

When they feel like they are ready. My oldest was about 11, so was I. It’s when they feel self conscious about it.
My daughter is 12 and has started but honestly if she had of asked sooner I would of taught her sooner.
I started around 12 also but I’m blonde and not hairy
There’s no specific age. Whenever they are uncomfortable with their hair and would feel more comfortable shaving. I told my daughter that it was absolutely ok to never shave, that many women keep their body hair. But that if she didn’t want to keep hers (for whatever reason), that was ok, and I would teach her how to shave. She came to me later and asked me to teach her. She was relieved afterwards bc hairy legs had really bothered her sensory issues and smooth ones felt so much better to her.
I think 11 is more than old enough to decide. Your goal should be to make your daughter comfortable in her own body no matter what her age is.

All of mine were about 11. We have super dark hair so that’s about the age other little girls started commenting. I helped and supervised until I felt they really understood and then let them handle it.
Mine keeps asking too😬

This is a simple issue. She wants to have control over her own body. It is important to her to feel feminine and accepted. Let her shave her legs. It will be a bonding experience between you both. This is more about the emotional/self-esteme side than it’s a physical ( growing up ) thing. Saying yes to this let’s her know you respect her decisions and are willing to look at her side of things. — This could come in handy later on, when she wants to start dating and you say no, because she is too young. Teens tend to say parents never listen to them or let them have their way about nothing. You can counter that future argument with this example. It might be silly, but it’s still a solid example, that you let her decide something about herself, because you respect her opinions and she is important to you. – It let’s her know this. ( It can give you future leverage, as a caring and knowledgeable parent).
I started at 10 after my first menstruation, against my mom’s wishes. My only regret is how it came back darker and thicker and I’m still having to do it at 40 lol
She’s ready when she asks. If it bothers her it’s a simple solution. I had very hairy legs in 6th grade and a boy asked me “what’s that?” Pointing at a cluster of hair. I was mortified. Shaved that night.
To me- if she asks, she can do it. Its her body. She should be the one in crontrol of it for simple things(non-medical). I would educate her as to why we have hair, especially pubic hair but in the end, if she still wants to, go at it.
I was 11 when I started shaving
About 3 years after the first time they come out of the bathroom with their legs bleeding, swearing they haven’t touched anything in the bathroom that wasn’t theirs!

My parents wouldn’t let me shave until I was in high school, I was so embarrassed about it I would wear long pants on extremely hot day.
All the other girls were shaving and I have dark hair.
It was honestly the worst thing & I would never do that to my child.
When my daughter asks to shave, we will either go get them waxed or teach her to shave.

I think a Clio Palmperfect shaver would be awesome for her.
My daughter is 14 and she doesn’t want to shave. I told her that I would teach her when she was 12.
When there is enough hair to, probably different for every child. If she’s asking it is probably over due.
