Every child is different and everyone’s body functions different. I myself for example do not use deodorant simply because I do not sweat under my arm pits. For a long time I did use deodorant just because everybody does it and I thought I should as well.
Some kids hit puberty early, other late. My daughter was 14 when her body started developing and got her period when she was 15yrs old, she started using deodorant when she was 13yrs or so.
My son is 14yrs old now and is relatively small and his voice didn’t change yet. I think he started using deodorant when he was 12 or 13yrs old just because he wanted to feel grown up, not because he’s so sweaty.
Make sure to chose a natural chemical free deodorant.
I’d say over the school holidays before starting high school would be a good time to start. Get them into the habit of it and over any initial embarrassment before school starts. Don’t wait until you notice an odour.
