@aidanrohrertate: Overprotective parenting and sheltering children can put them in more danger. Communicate with your children!! #parentingtips #parenting #parentingadvice #momtok #MomsofTikTok #family #controvery #fyp
I definitely think it’s when your kiddo asks and becomes self conscious 🤷🏼♀️

Don’t point out their body hair to them tho, my stepmom was the first person who made me self conscious about mine and it’s taken me a solid while to get over. Give a general rule of open convo

Yes! My 8yo now said she didn’t like the “mustache” or “unibrow” and we immediately took care of it.

I have 4 girls. 1 had a ton of leg hair and wanted to shave in 3rd grade. My kiddo in 5th grade has NO leg hair and no interest. Follow their lead!

Just had my first daughter. It’s going to be all her choice. Ear piercing, shaving, make up, clothes

My rule of thumb is going to be I’m not mentioning it until she does because if she doesn’t wanna shave it I’m not going to make her feel like she should but also I’ll teach her if she wants.

I grew up in the opposite household but I want my kids to feel comfortable with me 😭 can you share more about how they created this open environment?

This, but also it's our responsibility as parents to let our kids know to value themselves as they are, not what others think of them.

You just need to say "sure you dont need that if you dont want to but I am gonna show you" let her decide herself

My mom told me when she noticed my legs were hairy and was like "you need to shave soon 😊" and that's definitely NOT the way to do it.

As a mom to several girls! Yes as soon as my oldest said she was uncomfortable I showed her. She was probably 4th grade

I asked to shave my legs at 15 because we were planning to wear dresses at school. She didn’t let me, got called out (nicely) by a friend and felt so ashamed.

So many parents crate hostile learning environments for their kids. Mine acted like it was shameful to shave my legs and pretty much everything that being a women came with.

I don’t remember when I started but I remember at about 13-14 she still wouldn’t let me. I used to use hydrogen peroxide to bleach it and make it less noticeable 😭😭😭😭

Jessica :
I actually brought it up to my daughter. She has dark hair and I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable or bullied. She wasn’t ready, but as soon as she was she felt comfortable doing it.

Caitlin :
my mum didn't let me shave my legs, she showed me how to use hair removal cream instead so my hair wouldn't get thicker or be spiky when it grew back

Dad of 3 girls. Only thing I'd add is to find out why she feels insecure about it.
