Shud a 9yr old ask about shaving arms and legs?
Answers:
All children grow & mature at differnt stages its fine asking about it but the problem starts when they attempt it without your permisson.
Just Lisen to the child and give them the best explanation. My niece asks about it all the time n she is only 10 but she wont try it without ma sisters permission
Good luck with your discussin
no
Depends on how hairy the nine year old is.
Sure. They might if they r worried about what others think of them. Maybe older kids at their skool torture them about that.
Yes, If you dont ever ask something then you would never learn anything. the more you ask, the more you learn
no way its to young tell them to start when there about 13yrs old, high school age at least
I did when I was 9, my mother told me if I could do it Epilady which rips hair off leg. I tried after one small a area I decided I could wait.
With all the commercials and product advertising it wouldnt be unusual for them to ask out of curiosity.know that one day they will join that club. But I would discourage it until they are a little older.
Yup. I started shaving my legs AND arms at 9. I didn't have underarm hair until about 11 or 12 so I didn't have to shave my underarms back then. Don't worry about it. It doesn't mean anything. She figures "momma does it. so I should too."
There's nothing wrong with asking, but I wouldn't let a 9yr old shave until they really need to. Explain to her that shaving isn't a fun thing to do, it's something we do because we don't like excess hair. In our society it's considered unattractive, so when it starts to turn dark and noticeable we as WOMEN shave it off. Little girls don't have to worry about it yet until they get several years older. Good luck.
No
maybe this nine year old wants to keep his or herself up and look good, I would be proud,better than not caring
no.
wait a couple of years.
no. She's too young & she could cut & hurt herself.
shaving isnt too sensitive a topic is it?
you should shave if you are too hairy, so just consider that
PERFECTLY NORMAL !
sure kids are kids they all wanna know everything.
no they should not. they should still be playing and worrying bout whether they still have arms and legs cause of all the play and not the shave
Just asking, No problem. Explain that thay shouldn't be practising yet in the conversation.
yes. if they dont know they would learn out of humuliation.
i starting waxing my underarms at 9. legs and arms at 10.
If a 9 year old girl has visible "dark hair" on her legs and underarms, she is probably into early puberty.and it's perfectly fine to allow her to shave this off.especially considering the verbal teasing that she have already encountered from her peers! This type of teasing is very emotionally damaging at her age, as with all teens; so as a parent of a 23 year old girl I know that age doesn't matter as much as "fitting in" for kids to feel confident. There is no magic age to do these type of things!
Of course a 9 y.o. will ask because she is eager to grow up, but the answer should depend on how much hair she has in those places. If she doesn't have that much, wait, because after she does get it, she will have a lifetime of shaving to do. Don't get in a hurry.
a 9 year should questions yes but I don't think a 9 year old needs to be shaving yet. talk to an adult that has to shave and show them what you want to shave and see what they tell you.
No age is too young to ask questions
Youngsters are curious about the world and should be encouraged to ask questions, even awkward ones.
The important bit is how you answer the question.
Try to be as factual as possible and put it into perspective so they have some idea of how you feel about them knowing the answer.
My daughter has wanted to shave her legs since she was about 9, I explained to her once you start you never stop. My daughter has quite dark hair.
I let her do under her arms with the hair removing cream because that upset her more than her legs.
I think a lot of it is peer pressure when they do P.E. at school other girls comment on it.
I find girls worse than boys for making each other feel bad about their bodies.
tell her thats its like starting your period, once you start you will never be able to stop and you will hate it
i started shaving under my arms when i started growing hair there. i started shaving my legs 6 months after that
no I don't think so, I mean they know at some point it will happen. I would just let them know that now's not the time to be doing that. In a year or two maybe, but not to worry, her turn is coming. Make it a positive flow of communication but also try to maintain the sudden urgency to be an older young lady.
. . . at least she didn't ask about a full brazilian . . .
yes when i was small my mom told me that i could shave when im 11 so now im 16 and now im saying it to u
yah its fine. shes obviously seeing other kids doing it and is just self-concious about it. You should tell her to just ask her mom
It depends on how mature the nine year old is. How developed is she? Does she already have a lot of dark hair on her legs? Does she already have underarm hair?
And it also depends on how much peer pressure she is getting from the kids at school.
In my honest opinion I would not think that a nine yr old is mentally, physically or emotionally developed enough to shave or wear make up.
But this is a question that she needs to be asking her mother. It will ultimately be her mothers decision on whether or not she is going to be shaving at this age.
It is going to be her mothers responsibility if the child cuts a chunk out of her leg the first few times.
So I would be telling your young cousin that this is one of those questions for MOM.
