[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I teach sixth grade. The girls are all over the place in physical development and caring. [b]She’ll either notice and care enough to handle it, notice and not care, or not notice and not care.[/b][/quote] How is a 5th grader suppose to "care enough to handle it"? She's going to break into her piggy bank and get a taxi to the store to buy some razors? Make her own waxing appointment? Please. That was my mother's attitude about me shaving, wearing a bra, and getting my period. I had no money and no stores within walking distance. Guess who was teased and stuffed a lot of toilet paper into her pants throughout middle school? OP, please offer your daughter choices and the supplies she needs to take care of herself in whatever way she chooses. You could just say "I was wondering whether you want to start shaving this summer. It's totally up to you but we can get you an electric razor/whatever if you are curious about it."[/quote]
