I have a 12 yo daughter that started wearing bras a month ago. She doesn't like it that much, but I thought it was time for her to get started. She resisted a bit, but no big problem, she's a very good girl and I treat her with much love. She promised me she won't disobey and will try to get used to her bras. But sometimes she tries some tricks: She doesn't disobey or make fusses, but sometimes she "forgets" to put her bra on. Then, she gets close to me so that I can see she's braless and maybe let it pass. When I tell her she's braless, she says Oh I forgot. And I make her put it on.
Another trick is resisting learning how to put her bras on. She says it's kinda hard and says I gota help her. Well, I do, but this can't go forever.
Of course, those are childish things and I don't see any big problem, but I'd like opinions on how to handle this situation.

Compromise and let her wear sports bras. They are not "tricky" to put on and are less restrictive, but still offer support and modesty.
She will decide to start wearing a bra when she sees all of her friends wearing them. She is just at that age.

It sounds more like she is trying to get attention more than anything else. She lets you see that she is not wearing one, so you can talk to her to tell her to go put one on. And also, that she 'needs' your help putting it on.
I think she just wants to spend some more time with you while she is still a 'kid', and before she gets to old to do 'kid stuff'.
Wearing a bra an getting your period are all signs of growing up and becoming a woman, she is just trying stay a 'kid' a little longer.

If she doesnt really need one then dont make her wear one, but it she does you need to tell her why she needs it. My mom just bought them and I was sorta the same way but I come froma family of woman who grow over night (as in chest size but stop after a while) Cause I started when I was 11 1/2 and didnt really care for it. And would leave it but after a while they stopped growing so my mom didnt mind much. But then when I did need to wear them , I started to tolerate them, now I wont take it off unless I am going to take a bath/shower other wise it says on! She will get use to it.

Is you baby yet in desire of a bra? Do any of her different acquaintances positioned on bras? Is she is donning a bra which will fasten fairly in the front so she will do it on her own? you're forcing her to positioned on a bra and this would impression her self esteem. sit down her down and clarify why you experience it particularly is substantial that she positioned on a bra and then hear her area why she does not like donning one. Her childrens is on the sundown and she or he could be resisting this for many motives. attempt to be a solid listener and instruction manual your daughter subsequently. solid luck.

Try to start her with a training bra or sports bra. It will get her used to the idea of it, and whenshe has the physical need for an actual bra she will be more comfortable with it.

Don't make her wear them if she doesn't want to. It is perfectly stylish for women to go without a bra in this day and time. It is not immoral or promiscuous. Most people will probably think she's just comfortable, if they even notice at all.

I wouldn't bother he about it. When she feels it is necessary to wear one , she will do it on her own. At this point she probably feels like she doesn't need it yet. Just give her some time. Or you could try her on some sports bras, they are much easier to put on and more comfortable.

I would recommend taking her to a couple different stores to try on different bras. My wife says the comfort of an expensive bra, like victoria secret, is better. She says the wires bother her. Try it.

Does she really need one? If she is just starting to bud, I dont think it's even necessary. My daughter started with buds at about 10 years old and now really does need to wear one for support. If there is not much to support, theres not much need for a bra.
