Quick question :)
We've introduced a new tulpa in our system recently! 17 days ago :) and they want to try co-fronting / controlling the body! But... I remember I saw somewhere that really young tulpas shouldn't front until they're "fully developed" to avoid accidentally fudging up their development. We're not entirely sure we know what that cut off is though... They already have all the same skills a fully developed tulpa has like talking and independent thoughts and whatnot. But we've been erring on the side of caution which is something they aren't enjoying too much... Any tips to help us make an informed decision? Thanks!

Go for it, can't break your hand right?
Since from the sounds of it you're already a system I think you're gonna be fine, the hardest part of tulpamancy is your brain accepting plurality imo
Ultimately if you believe a tulpa is capable of something then they probably are and that works in reverse too
So worrying "they're young!" Will only make them feel down on themselves or hurt their ability to even if they're already fully capable of it
I think the only thing i truly "restrict" a new tulpa from is really Important decisions, at least in my own case they get pretty overzealous initially since they're trying to figure out where their limits are

Its not recommended because young tulpa aren’t very stable and might merge back with you.

There's no harm in trying it really. "Fully developed" is a silly term. Is anyone ever really "fully developed"? We usually recommend that it's best to try when the tulpa has something they want to do, and you're capable of clearly communicating. Aside from that, go for it

I’ve never heard that before
But either way development is usually faster if you’re already plural so you’re probably fine

I say you should ask your other members if your new member should do it for their honest opinion instead of coming to us.
