Re: Re: My daughter is embarrased by her hairy legs

She can wear long panties.
But fixing the problem tells her that it IS a problem and then it actually re-enforces low self-esteem because it is a patch, not a solution to her atitude. My support system is calling Dr. Aldort for a phone advice session. She is great. Her book and tapes are great too. But maybe you can let her skip gimnastics for now and not make a deal out of it. Hairyness changes and she will change and new things will show up.

Re: My daughter is embarrased by her hairy legs

My daughter at that age was embarrassed as well. I just explained to her that she was young and all young children have same thing. I remember the first time she looked at her legs, she said "Omg, I am turning into Dad"... I started laughing and so did she. She eventually got over it and forgot about it. But everyone is different. How about stockings? Can she put stockings on? Tights?

Once I asked a skin specialist for a permanent remady and she told me that waxing at the age of 7 eradicated the problem 80% and after that you can continue but with miraculous results. You got to discuss it with her cause I did endup shaving my legs myself, the result is I am still suffering
