My daughter is 10.
As far as "down there" - Forget It!!! There's not enough there to even count
I know everyone is different but at the age of 9 I had bigger breasts than my mother and was certainly a 'woman' in terms of hair...
I also think it's horrible to wax at the age of 8... also at the age of 28 if you ask me.. I've never waxed as it seems painful and quite frankly, unless my partner is prepared to go through that pain.. neither am I - sorry.. but if he's 'natural' then so am I...
But anyway, that's another rant for another time...
What I mean is, SOME 8 year olds are horribly developed for their age, I should know.. and it's horrible.... in some ways, surely waxing / shaving is being more like their friends e.g. hairless? No.. I am STILL very against the idea.. but I'm trying to look at it from the kids point of view... you're going through early puberty.. your body looks different to all your friends - different isn't always good if you're the only one going through things...
