    I was 13 before we were allowed to get out ear pierced or shave our legs, and weren't allowed to gye our hair until we were 15 and even then, it had tp be done properly at the hairdressers and mum had to approve.

    9 IMO is too young to dye one's hair.
    With the legs, I would wax them if they were very dark and causing her greif. You could perhaps look at a silky mit - it may work for fine hair. I would be hesitant about using chemicals like Veet on her skin though.
    I had very dark hair on my legs by the time i was 11 and it wasn't fun, I think my mum gave in and let me shave at 12. In the long run though, it didn't hurt me - hair is there, it is natural, it is human and she will live
    But Charlotte won't be dyeing hair, shaving legs or piercing ears until she is 12
