Should I let my 5yr. old shave?
Answer:
NO, i don't even shave yet. Not your 5yr old girl.
I wouldn't.
Only if you want a bloody and cut-up 5 year old.
No way, too young...
Absolutely not! 5yr olds are much too young to be concerning themselves with that.
No way its too young. My sis is 12 and she still doesent shave.
WHAT would a 5 y/o have to shave??? I'd think that they'd cut themselves and it's proabably not good parenting at best.
What? She is 5 years old! If you want her to ACT like Britney Spears try forcing her to grow up before she is ready.
2 points for me. Funny question though.
dont let him even go near the razor..he may cut himself pretty bad!
dont let her shave. give her a razor around...hm.....4th grade?
tell her how shaving is a huge hassel and you cant stop or it looks awful, and you have to buy shaving cream cause razor burn is painful (it scared me when i wanted to shave in kindergarder.)
Personally, no matter how mature your child is, sharp objects are never a good mix with 5 year olds..believe me, I know! And have the scar to prove it! Lol! -x-
No, Your 5 year old is way to young to be shaving. You should at least wait till she is at least 12 years old.
No. she is five years old and should not have a reason to shave. She needs to be focusing on having a normal childhood. If you let her do this she will only grow up to to fast and it will be worse on her in the long run. Playing around with make-up is one thing but to actually let her shave.
QUIT BEING SO VAIN ! HOPEFULLY YOUR CHILD WON'T GROW UP WITH YOUR MENTALITY!!
yeah I don't blame you .. if she has a beard get that lasered!
No, you shouldn't. Actually, I think instead of wondering if you should let her, you should be figuring out how to tell her how wanting to shave so young is silly and even dumb, and why being like BS or whatever media role model is not important.
Five year-olds have beautiful, fine body hair on their arms and legs. When your kid hits puberty and the hair gets dark and curly, that's when you might think about allowing her to shave. Currently she has neither the need nor the motor dexterity to shave.
Your 5 year old is way too young to be concerned with shaving. She should still be playing with dolls.
Furthermore, you should be more concerned about your daughter learning and being smart and having a productive happy future... not whether she looks like Britney Spears or not. Get your priorities for your daughter straight.
No. Just make her think she is shaving! put shaving cream on her and turn the razor around the wrong way to were it will make her think that she is shaving because the shaving cream will be coming off anyways. lol i have a 2 year old niece...everytime she takes a bath she wants to shave and she falls for it everytime.
I hope you mean 15 year old. If so, then sit down and have a chat with her. If its in best interest of her than go ahead let her.
no. not a good idea. just cause kids want to try to grow up doesnt mean should. Just remind her she is a child and children should look like kids not like mini adults.
what would she be shaving? at 5, neither boys nor girls have anything to shave -- whether at the groin, the face, the underarms, or the legs..
when you and your child are BOTH ready for the child to begin shaving, make sure your child knows and understands that this is a repeating process.it has to happen every day, whether your child feels like it or not...
too young. i think all little girls go through this. but wait till she gets to be in 4th or 5th grade at least.
aww nononoooooo tell her shavers are not good for her!! because they can harm, shrach it , my mum took pic of me shaving wen i was 5 (da machine wasnt on) give her machine shaving and dont turn it on lol x if she nos it makes noise say shavers make noise to adult not for child, i dont know!
I dont think that you should let your 5 year old shave. Once you start it, there is no going back. Besides, 5 is a little young to begin that habit. She is just a little girl. Shaving is something that you should at least wait until she hits puberty to start. Let her be a little girl.
I believe that is much too young...and a little wierd if its a girl depending where she wants to shave.if she honestly has a hair growth PROBLEM ( I empasize problem because not all hair growth is a problem) then i would talk to a dermatologist for laser hair removal.
NO SHAVING UNTIL DATING usually 14 to 16 years of age.
OK calm down people -- she is only 5. It may not be as bad as it sounds.
Now, a 5-year old doesn't have anything to shave for one thing, and for another, I don't think I would trust her with a razor. Very sharp and razor cuts can be very painful.
That being said, she might just be doing it to be like you or someone else she looks up to, much like a little boy might want to mow the yard or fix a car as his dad or big brother does. It sounds to me like adult role-playing, which isn't too uncommon for a 5 year old. Have you considered giving her a fake razor, or one with no blade and let her "pretend" to shave with you? Try it and see how it works. If that's all it is she will eventually just grow out of it and move on to something else.
Good luck.
Who are you? Folks, read her list of questions. I think she (or even he) is some adolescent having fun with ridiculous questions. Her other question was, "Should I give my baby Prozac?"
Get out of the Parenting area, please, and ask questions with other people your age. Thanks.
I think 5 is way too young.
No.
