[quote=Anonymous]One of my daughters waited till 6th grade, and her 4th grade sister decided to try it too. (They were 12 and 10). I would say by 6th grade most of my daughter’s friends were already shaving- but she does swim and dance. My 10 year old tried it once or twice and then promptly decided it wasn’t worth it. She has now started to do it again regularly in 7th grade. When she tried it at 10, she had a handful of friends who had also tried it. I don’t see any reason not to allow them to try it. It’s kind of a pain in the butt, and I think most kids will find it annoying, and not worth it. So much of puberty is scary and out of their control- but this is very much their own choice. We talked about how they don’t have to shave anything, but that some people decide to and it’s up to them to decide how they feel most comfortable. [/quote]
