Michele Kopp accept the responsibility of shaving? Get off your high horse. let her shave!
My daughter is 12 and is going through puberty so she was getting hairy armpits and wanted to shave those so she could wear tank tops. But hasnt asked to shave her legs yet.
My mom didnt let me shave until i started my period
If my hypothetical daughter wants to shave, i will let her, i just want her to let me show her how so she doesnt hurt herself shaving first and then shes good

It depends. Whenever my daughter asks I will let her. We have dark hair and I started shaving around 9

I was 13 and figured it out for myself, but I would start teaching my kids about puberty/shaving by 10, if they havenāt started asking by then. Itās really up to you
I was 10ish when I started doing it personally. I had hit puberty early and had a lot of insecurities about being hairy and smelly so it worked out well for me
I was 9 but it was just because I hit my period @ 8yo and my friends all had smooth legs and I was embarrassed 
10, my mom wouldnāt and kids made fun of me so I let my daughter I donāt want her to go thru what I went thru as a kid. I have 3 girls so If they asked I will be more than happy to let them and show them.

I started at like 10 without permission but learned from my cousin. I would say when they ask (if not too young) or puberty age

Sheās almost got the shaving down now. . She started a few months ago. .
Only cuts herself occasionally. . And misses places like a pro 
I got her that one brand that has the wires, so itās harder to cut oneselfā¦
I started shaving mine around 9. My daughter is only 2, but I plan to let her start when she asks as long as itās around 9 or 10.
When ever she wanted too I told her the stuff was there an go for it.
When she asks just teach her for the love of God! Sheās asking for a reasonā¦ just from personal experience 
and donāt give her nair! Thatās child abuse! but seriously donāt.

I would say between 9 and 12 my daughter was 12 but didnāt get her period until she was 15
My mom allowed me in 5th grade. But my hairs were long and dark and I got bullied a lot
14 ish I discouragr anyone younger to do it. It also depends how much hair. Only let your kids do it if they ate gonna make a habit of it. Once you start canāt stop.
Believe it or not my daughter was in 3rd grade this year and all the girls are doing it now. Shes 9 I wasnāt going to let her but she has extremely dark hair on her legs and the other girls were pointing it out. They are growing up fast now a days. There are also girls getting highlights and their nails done in her class tooā¦

I was 11 years old, a week away from turning 12.
My mom refused but, my dad convinced her.
Thanks, Daddy. RIP 
My mom let me when I was promoting from 6th grade to junior high. But told me if I cut myself I would have to wait till high school. I will talk to my daughter about it in 4/5 grade and see where she is if she is wanting to I will let her i was teased because I had dark arm hair in 4th grade and I wished my mom would let me shaveā¦
Sara Chloe Geddy yes wtf is that shit !! My daughter thought she was going to the salon to get hers done 
we also donāt do like the hair coloring thing either ā¦
Sara Chloe Geddy wow on the girls doing that now
Annie Tieden ya really. I dont want a 10 y/o teenager. I want my little girl! She understands though and is easy to compromise.
Let her do itā¦she might even shower more
She is 9 but uses hair emoval cream as cut her leg shaving due to a comment at school x
My daughter is 12 and I wonāt be letting her shave hers for a while yet, if its not blatantly obvious then I donāt see why she should especially as she wears tights all the time for school
I donāt have a daughter but can speak from my own childhoodā¦ So I had dark leg hairs and idk around 9 noticed I was so hairy but started shaving around 12ā¦ I recall in my health class my teacher asking if any girls had underarm hair and to raise their handā¦ well lucky me! I was the only oneā¦ So wanted to shaveā¦ My mom was not super feminineā¦ She did not show me how to shaveā¦ I had the worse razor burn for so long and felt embarrassedā¦ If I ever have a little girl, depending on her leg hair color, I will suggest her begin shaving before she starts middle school (when they start kinda dating little boys") actually demonstrate how to do it and buy proper shaving items.
I was 11/12 years old my mom refused to show me so my oldest sister had too.
If your child is showing adamant interest then I would show them before a friend shows them or they google/YouTube something

My grandma didnt want me shaving but I think around 12 or so I started sneaking It lol. Didnt take long for her to notice tho
Let her shave her legs. Not like sheās getting a tattoo lol
When they ask. My oldest was 11. Iāve got 4 girls 12,10,7&6 Iāve joked with my very hairy 10 yr old and said I think you need to shave and she said no she wasnāt worried about it. So depends on the kid really. Obviously my oldest was embarrassed by it.
I donāt have a daughter but my mom didnāt let me until I was 13.
Being the only girl who doesnāt shave yet does suck if you have to wear shorts. I got picked on for it so shaved without mom knowing lol
- Bought my daughter an electric razor for her birthday. She started asking when she started 6th grade
I dont have daughters, but I started in grade 8. I was 13. Depends on the child too. But, if I did have a daughter, I would want to wait until about 12-13 yrs old.
When they start Middle school. So around 11 or 12.

I told my daughter who is very blond after she started her monthly she could she so I think she was 12 1/2
My daughter is 8 and mixed. Her hair on her legs grow dark and long and she is very self conscious about it. So I got her a electric razor to use every now and then. Just to make it less noticable.
I asked my mom when I was in 6th grade because my friends were doing it and I didnāt want to be left out.
i started shaving my legs and stuff when i was 10-11 it was shortly after i started my period
