Is it too soon to Teach my 10 year old to shave?

Its very soon to have armpits hair 😭. But if my little girl were feeling self conscious about it i think i would teach her to shave . But only the armpits x

i had to start shaving around that age. i hit some things earlier than most other kids my age. my dad did not allow me to shave and i was extremely embarrassed and wore long sleeve shirts and jeans all the time. i think that if she asks about it, it wouldn’t hurt to allow her to shave her underarms!

If she’s already going at it then it would be a good time to teach her. I wish my mother was observant enough to do this with me when I started to notice hair and that other girls were shaving legs at PE practice. I remember feeling really embarrassed so I wish someone spoke to me and explained that it’s ok to have hair but if I want to this is how I can shave safely

I wouldn't teach her anything she didn't mention she was feeling bad about. If she told you she was feeling bad about hair in armpit then I would be fully present to find a solution with her. If she seems fine with it, she might be totally fine with it.

I started shaving my legs and armpits around age 10 and I regret it. my leg hair is very thick and black now, but not my thighs which I dont shave often, my thigh hair is very light and not thick. I wish I never shaved my legs 💔 my armpits also thick and dark and grows back very quickly. 10 yr olds should not be getting bullied about any of this 🥲
That being said, if she has asked you to teach her I don’t think it’s too early. But if she hasn’t asked just make sure you let her know she has options, if she wants to get rid of body hair she can. and if she doesn’t want to make sure she knows that body hair is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of, even if people make it seem like it sometimes.

My mom taught me how to shave my legs in kindergarten 😂 I had to start shaving my armpits around 4th grade as well. I hit puberty in 5th grade and I’m Lebanese hence why I was so hairy so soon lol! I honestly wanted to shave though because I didn’t like being hairy. For example my mom never wanted me to shave my arms but this was something I wanted to do because I didn’t like hair. I don’t think it would hurt to have a conversation and then showing her how to shave!
