oh Dea - I remember feeling embarrassed at school cause I was the girl with the hair legs (so I thought). I think school years are hard. I wasnt aloude to do alot (over protective older parents) so Jed and i decided that we would go with the flow (within reason) with our kids and let them tell us what they wanted. How you feel, would it hurt for her to start? Could you make it a mother daughter bonding thing? It might make her migration into puberty a bit easier for her as she might have a strong trust factor with you and closness. I dont know. I think if my mother would have given me choices like this and trusted me a bit more we would have been closer. Goodluck matie
