Why is this about "letting "them?if they would feel more comfortable what would be the harm???
Thanks you for posting…my girls are no where near this age but I’m sure it’s coming my sisters did mine because it bothered them no one showed or talked to me!
Be forewarned … when you start shaving … you have to keep it up and the hair comes back thicker and heavier … For a child You should really consider those body hair remover machines… or plucking to remove more permanently. Here is an example … https://www.sharperimage.com/si/view/product/Fine+Facial+Hair+Remover/100871?p=plist2470005&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Shopping+Campaigns+High+Priority&Keyword=&device=c&creative=&cm_mmc=CPC-_-Google-_-Shopping+Campaigns+High+Priority-_-&network=s&matchtype=e&adpos=&creative=&mkwid=QFlMHtWU|pkw||pcrid||pmt|e|pdv|c|slid||&msclkid=90beb548da4b142a2c34ea1e05e580e0

Any age if she is comfortable with it and she got hairy legs let her shave them her choice
I contemplate this my daughter who is 8 has really dark hair on her arms and legs but I know once they shave it just gets darker i was blessed with blonde hair on my arms and legs so i can go for weeks lol

I would let her make the choice now she is getting to age that puberty begins. I had girls in my class in grade 4 that had started their cycles. If she is starting to feel self conscious support her but I have heard women say they think shaving earlier on in life causes thicker hair later. Not sure if that’s true.

My granddaughter is 12 she still hasn’t shaved them yet. But her hair is light
When she gets hair under her arms, it’s time to shave.

How about trying Nair?
I say if she’s asking for it, then it’s the right time.
I feel like if she’s asking its a good time to start

When you and her are ready mama 
some don’t need to til later on (my girl was 12 as her leg hair was blonde til she hit puberty - then it started growing black and thick) she asked me and I told her the truth… there are no rules and regulations to shaving babe… it’s an action we do that helps our self-confidence 
It’s not a gateway to piercings or anything

never asked just started doing it myself like 12 didnt have much hair til then 
My daughter just did it, didn’t ask me😂
I was 9 when I started shaving.
i was 10 i stole my moms razor and did it my self with out her knowing 
I was 9-10 and I didn’t even have a reason other than I grew pubic hair and didn’t like it And I still don’t like it 
When they are interested…
Whenever she feels like she’s ready.
My daughter was 10, but bless her, she was in a 34b bra and 5’6.
I learned to shave when I was about 9 I believe, maybe 10. I didn’t ask. I turned the razor sideways and had a big cut on my thigh for awhile. Just show your baby how.
Mine was 9 or 10 . She was self conscious
Whenever it starts embarrassing them.

My daughter is 10. I just taught her 
5th grade I remember I was so excited to get a silk affects razor for my birthday 
My daughter was around 10
I wasn’t allowed until I was 13.
Mine started when she was 11
If she is uncomfortable now is the time
If she’s asking, she’s ready. Others have probably already pointed it out to her. Take her shopping so she can get her lotion and razors. Find a shave cream/lotion without chemicals since most if not all chemicals in product are endocrine disrupters.
I was 9.
Let her. She shouldnt have to feel like that.
If she does competiton I say now
I think i was about 13 but im blonde and you cant even see my leg hair, im 24 now and not shaved my legs in probably 5 years What about letting her use hair removal cream rather than shave? Its safer and easier x
Whenever it gets in the way of her self esteem
I was grade 5 so 9/10
Have her Nair them. I will let my daughter do it when she asks me to.
Whatever age they need to.
Let them…when it makes them more comfortable…with themselves…
Get that girl some Nair so she feels better xo
believe me they grow back lol
Middle school…for gym class
Just a few months ago… She’s 11
Tell her she will regret it shaving sucks. Don’t care what people think
My mom let me use the nair? Cream or whatever for a long time I was in 5th grade
When she asked to learn
My daughter is 10.and shaved her legs on her own. She is not very hairy and the hair was blonde. But its her body so its her call. If it bothers her maybe just let her
When she needs to so yes now x
Mine started at 10.she is a dancer
Also if she is in competitive sports the less hair the better
My kiddo was developing breasts at 6 years old… She started her period at 8… I let her shave at 8… I taught her and supervised her the first couple times…
I guess because puberty hit her so young, she always acted older than her age and was a pretty responsible good kid for the most part… So i could trust her at 8 with a razor alone…
But every kid is differrnt and nobody knows their kids better than their mommas and dads… So use your judgment and itll all go how its supposed to.
8 I was a monkey lol
I was about 10 when i started.
Whenever she’s super hairy
Whenever my kid asked
If she’s self conscious about it I’d say allow it, or maybe try those hair removal creams
My daughter used nair for the first year or so
I started on my own at 11 or ten
My daughter is 10 and shaves
I was 11 . But I was very hairy . I did not know that I had pcos untill an adult . Which explains hair
I was 12 but I wasn’t a competitive gymnast lol
I think I was 9-10 when I started shaving. If she’s asking, she’s ready.
I’d let her if she asked
If she’s a competitive gymnast then let her. It will help performance
My daughter is 10, i let her
I let my 11 and 8 year old try it, my 11 year old only does it on occasion and my 8 year old decided it was unnecessary and too much work hasn’t caused any issues in our house
My mom let at about 15
11 has been our age in our family
And yeah some girls be mean af
I was like twelevebut I mean if she feels uncomfortable I wouldn’t see why not?
I think I was 13 or 14
I think i was around 9
About that age I was shaving
I was 13. I think my daughter was about the same age.
If she has asked leave her shave.
When they become embarrassed over it.
I started 9-10 years old.
6th grade for me. I’m 34 now!
Whenever it’s necessary
THey don’t cut them self
Immac is another option.
I think I was 13 or 14
I rather let my young one use nair
As soon as she asked.
I was about 10 or so.
We started daughter with nair …
When she began growing hair.
Whenever she shows interest, and show her how to.
Get her a $5 shave club box!
Address your child as an individual
Time to let her shave her legs !! Wow
Dont body shame your daughters
This past month I just taught both my 12 year olds how to shave. I didn’t want them to do it too early and have to deal with the pain in the a:boom:
of it all the time plus I wanted to wait until they were big enough to want to continue to shave on a regular basis and not let their hair grow back
At that age, use Nair
Age 15. Only the legs.
Nair no razors plus lasts longer and no cuts
When you daughter asks.
If she asked you then yes , I would
I never asked my mum, my body, my choice
