Moms Talk: When's the Right Age For Ear Piercing?

Town and Country-Manchester Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support families right here in Town and Country and Manchester.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. 

This week we start the conversation with a question about kids and ear piercing. Add your thoughts/advice in the comments box below.

Question:

At what age is it appropriate to get your child's ears pierced, taking into consideration the pain in getting them pierced, as well as the ability to prevent them from getting infected? 

Background:

This week's question comes from Moms Council Member Bonnie Krueger. She says her daughter is 6 years old  and is asking. Bonnie is very confused at what point it's appropriate.
