[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's nuts. My niece is in 3rd grade, and I just had to explain to her last week what nipples are. A third grader should not be exposed to that! [/quote]

My niece is in third grade and already wears a bra. Your 9 year old should know what her body parts are. [/quote]

Why on earth does your third grader need a bra[/quote]

Because my third grade niece is 9 and has started developing. It’s well within the realm of normal actually. She will probably get her period when she’s 11.[/quote]

This, LOTS of girls are starting periods 8-10 years old.  My daughter has been wearing an undershirt or training bra from 3rd grade on.[b] So, did at least half the girls in her class at the start of 3rd grade. Seems like all of them are in bras or undershirts with bras now in 4th grade.[/b] (Just from chatting with moms).
 Kids should know all the scientific names for all their body parts & the opposite sex as well.  Having accurate factual information is the best way to protect kids from inappropriate behaviors. [/quote]

This surprises me and suggests it's more peer pressure than physiological need. Yes, 3rd-4th grade is within the range of normal to need a bra, but wayon the early end (8-13 is considered normal, developmentally). The average age that breasts start budding is 10.5, so the idea that ALL 9 to newly turned 10 year olds need a bra is absurd.[/quote]
