My 8yo dd has got used to washing her armpits as they are a bit smelly. But she has quite a few noticeable hairs which she feels self conscious about. Now and then I'll cut some off for her with nail scissors, which seems to put her mind at rest. But am I being ridiculously in denial and should just shave them - as I do mine. Or is that putting ideas about the ideal women body ('hairless') into her head too young?
