[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old DD has come to me a few times over the past few months very upset about how hairy her legs are and that kids are making fun of her.  I noticed about a year ago that she had very dark, hairy legs.  I was actually a tiny bit worried about it a year ago but never said anything to her.  My worry isn't that she has hairy legs.  That's nature and I want her to be happy with herself.  But she's now coming to me crying about it.  Kids are making fun of her for it.  In a perfect world I wouldn't even address body hair until closer to middle school.  I've been telling her we're all made differently and it's perfectly normal.  I've never brought it up to her and have only talked to her about it if she brings it up to me.  But last night she was distraught about it.  I told her it was getting cold so she can wear pants and not worry about it for now.  But I told her we could talk about it again when it got warmer and figure out what to do then.  What would you do?  It seems outrageously early to start shaving her legs.  But I also don't want her to be ashamed of herself.[/quote]
