My daughters are in their 20's so I can't remember when they started to shave but, I would say if she wants to that badly they I would let her. I do remember one of them shaved without me knowing it and cut her legs...If it were me, I would let her do it and watch her so she doesn't cut herself.

Hmm, I don't remember when I started shaving, but I agree with Marilyn; sometimes it's best to chose your battles.

My soon-to-be-11 year old granddaughter, is also going into the 5th grade. Her mom (my daughter) is a fifth grade teacher and she let my granddaughter start shaving her legs this summer. I thought it was kinda young, but my daughter said she would get teased in the fifth grade if she didn't shave her legs.

Well... I let her read all of the reply's and guess what !... NOW she doesn't want to do it. The more I look at her legs the more I think she needs to do it before school ! I have 2 weeks to convince her to do it.

Man I can't seem to win for loosing when it comes to her these days. Thanks for the replys... It really helped me out a lot.

My mother didn't want me shaving my legs either and I did it behind her back. it would have been nicer to have her show me how rather than cut myself. Whatever your daughter is comfortable with I think is ok.

Well we had a breakthrough!!!

LOL I FINALLY got her to talk about it. She is basically scared of cutting herself. I told her that I would not let her do it by herself and that I would be right there helping her. Then I got to thinking about just buying an electric razor. That way I could use it myself. SO I let her feel her daddy's on her hand and she says.. "That was it!!!!",

I said yeah it doesn't hurt. She thought that it was going to hurt. So I guess we have some shaving to do this weekend!!! Hey it is an excuse to buy a new razor for myself! LOL She wants to use the neet type products. I don't even use them. I am just to scared to use it myself!! Well anyway.. Thanks for the help guys!
