The whole reason behind shaving is to make a girl feel good about herself, so if your daughter has experienced hair growth, it might be time to consider showing her how to shave. If she's already approached you and asked about shaving, chances are she's self-conscious about her hair growth, or worried that she might be teased for not shaving.

For other girls, shaving can be postponed for a year or two. If your daughter's hair growth is minimal, or isn't noticeable because her hair is light in color, she might be able to avoid shaving for a little while longer. But many girls want to shave, and because there are no health reasons for them to wait, it's reasonable to allow them to shave when they think they're ready to do so.

Shaving is a right of passage for many girls, so be sure you give your tween all the information she needs to shave safely and properly.

For some tweens, shaving can be a scary thing. They may worry about cutting themselves, or they may worry that they're not shaving properly.
