How often does your 9 year old shower?

We seem to run out of time for a shower most nights. Is showering once or twice a week before puberty gross? She doesn't play a ton of sports and doesn't smell. I'm just finding working in more frequent showers challenging between activities, reading time, homework, etc.

Very dry skin. 3 times a week when it's hot and sweaty out. 2 times a week otherwise.

Assuming that this is a serious post, she should bathe/shower at least every other day if not participating in sports or doing manual labor or otherwise sweating. But, yeah, it's pretty gross.

Every day. Sometimes it's just her butt. She poops every day doesn't she?? My dad's hair also smells after 2 days as she sweats with her head.

Once or twice a week seems fine before puberty. Even as adults, three times a week is fine for a lot of people.

Daily. I don’t understand how she run out of time to take a shower. It takes 10 min.

How do you run out of time to shower? It takes 10 minutes!!

My 9 year old takes a shower almost every day before bed. Even if they don't play sports, they're still active - what about running around at recess or in PE? Not to mention hair starts smelling after a couple days. Your 9 year old definitely sweats. When she skips a shower, it's because we stayed at home and did basically nothing all day.

Mine fights showering. We aim for every other day. Left to her own choice it would be once a week tops. Sometimes she fake showers - gets wet forgets to use shampoo. It’s a whole thing.

ODD tendencies that are improving somewhat. She loves the shower and forgets til she’s in there.

Maybe every three days? Have them use a washcloth every day though.

Every day, but washes hair 2x a week.

Every other day, but I’d prefer daily. Once a week is crazy.

Daily shower, washing hair every other day. It takes literally 5 minutes to properly soap the body and rinse. Additional 5 minute when washing hair. Do better at parenting.
