We live in continental Europe and our dd's primary school is asking whether we want her to be confirmed next May, even though she is only in last year of primary (11 yrs).

We received the letter yesterday and they want a reply by today!

My dh and I were both confirmed around the ages of 13/14 yrs.

We are a Catholic family and want dd to be confirmed, but feel that 11 yrs is a bit young, as we really want dd to have a more complete understanding and awareness of the decision she is making. (At the moment her reasons are "I want to be Confirmed at the same time as my friends".)

Any info/advice/thoughts appreciated!

7/8 in North West England and just before FHC. I think it seems too young for many, personally believe it should be when the individual child is ready rather than a set age but I guess that would be very chaotic to manage.
