[quote=Anonymous]Your child may not need it, but other children do. My daughter started wearing deodorant regularly when she was 8. She needed it. Typically, for matters of hygiene and puberty the whole class (or sex segregated class) is addressed. I know in my daughter's 4th grade health unit, things like wearing clean clothes every day were mentioned along with deodorant, the wearing of bras or under shirts, and growing hair in new and exciting places. Like you, I was concerned about what was in deodorant, so I shopped around and got some that I considered "safer." While one of the standard suggestions is to let your child pick it out (to increase compliance with using it), I pre-filtered the options available to her. If your child is typical, she will take time adjusting to wearing deodorant, so getting her started thinking about it now can help when she does start to stink in a couple months/year.[/quote]
