Its easy enough to say they can take them out and they will heal up if they dont want it done but I took my second earrings out about 6 years ago now and still have holes there 
Also, its not safe tbh. They could catch them on something, they could be pulled out at school/nursery... |
Absolutely this.
I just think there's enough pressure on children in modern society to grow up too quickly, let them be children I say, and if they want it when they are at a suitable age then that's totally fine.
I agree with Vicky's point here about the safety aspects as well, a lot of school are quite "hot" on this and actually have policies that a child coming to school wearing earrings must either remove them or be taken home, and I've worked in a school and seen this enforced. The parents generally do their nut especially if they've just paid for it done and it means they'll heal up, but how would they feel if they received a phone call to tell them their child is in hospital with their ear ripped. The blame would lie squarely on their own shoulders.
