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!

 YEAH!!!! We have shaved legs!!!! She wanted to shave them after a long talk and then got scared. SOO... I told her that if she wanted she could wait and see what the other girls at school were doing.. After 2 days she came home and said "Mom, I wanna shave my legs! Almost all the girls are doing it." So we just finished shaving them and NOW she wants to wear shorts to school in the am! I am just glad that is one more hurdle under my belt. LOL Man... she sure is growing up fast!
