| Hey. I'm 14. I started shaving at 10. I know its maybe hard for you to get through but this is a perfect situation for you to be a "cool mom" and still get closer to her. I think that if you tell her you know but open loving arms and tell her its okay just tell you next time she will feel so much better. You just have to take it into her perspective. Lets just say that "all "of the girls were shaving exept her and she felt like a child. She is a teenager. If you can get over it easily It would help her so much. ↑ |

| As a parent of a teenager, mine is a boy, but thankfully I remember being a teenage girl, my advice is to choose your battles wisely. There will be plenty to battle over in the upcoming years, shaving just doesn't seem worth it. Casually mention that you noticed, and then you will earn her trust. She will realize that mom won't "freak out" and she will come to you with other things. My hunch is that she was afraid to tell you, and if you make a big deal out of it, she won't come to you for bigger things in the future. This is one you'll just have to shush about. ↑ |

I would Just start talking to her about how youhave to sheve you r leg and how to do it so you wont get cut. You might ask her if she want you to show her? Try to keep it light.You could even say that you knotced that she shaved her legs and does she want to go out and get her own shaver?
I would end with something like ...I hope you know thatyoucan come to me about anything and I will listen and try and help.
I did this with mine and she now comes to me about a lot of things... like her period & boys and being teased in school.
Some kids just do not know that tey need to ask or can come to us.I made i clea along time ago but I guess she forgot ..So now I reminder to talk to me about whatevers on her mind and she is .It as beem Great.
Hope this helped some??Best of luck and let us know what happends. ↑ |

| I am the mother of two girls,11 and 14. The fourteen year old is shaving her underarms. The 11 year old has very hairy legs and in the fourth grade she was getting teased. I started shaving them for her. It made her feel so much more confident. I know that you are hurt and disappointed that your daughter didn't tell you but I am sure she probably thought you would say no. We all remember the scars that we got when we first started shaving and I know I don't want my daughters legs to look like that. She probably got teased at school and was too embarrassed to say anything. There is no need for punishment. It's already done. All you can do now is to give her a package of new razors and some shaving gel and say hey I thought you might be ready to try this out. Saves face on both sides and the last thing you want or need is an argument. You can always just leave it on her bed with I note that says I Love You, Mom. and just leave it at that. Good Luck. ↑ |

| Pretty much it depends on how you dress but when I was 12 I had to start shaving my legs. Blond girls can get away with it but I have almost black hair. I never asked but my mom saw it right away. She took me to get our nails done. I think it was cool for her. ↑ |

| Its so normaland I dont think she should be punished for that she might notice that her friends do it and she is influenced because maybe someone told her she had hairy legs.....you should try asking her why she did it? ↑ |

| i started shaving my legs when i was around 10.. but my mom just came up to me one day and said here's is shaving cream and a razor and she showed me how... but she didn't let my sister start shaving until she was 13... now I am 16 and i have kind of bushy eyebrows and i really want to get them waxed. All of my friends get them waxed but I'm afraid to ask my mom because when i ask her to do stuff and she does not like the idea she will start screaming and yelling at me... what do you think I should do? too bad i can't go behind her back and get them waxed because she will notice. ↑ |

Hey I think she was just scared or embarrassed to ask if she could shave.
Shes probably been thinking about it a long time.
Now one night when your alone with her just say that you know she does it, but don't tell her off just gently say that she should have asked you first because you would have said yes (even if you wern't going to).
But the deed has been done, don't make her stop else her hair will grow back darker.
Now you can go out and buy a good razor and a good cream, shes probably been using cheap stuff that can't be good for her legs. ↑ |
