Just because they don't know with certainty with every individual kid doesn't mean they haven't noticed overall trends in the data. If a kid is regularly smelly, there's certainly a good chance s/he doesn't have regular showers.

True. Former teacher here. One day a kid smelled so bad I was gagging. My colleague and I were dumbfounded. We sent him to the clinic to call home to ask for some clean clothes. The smell was so horrid I could not be near him! Please parents, have your kid bathe or shower daily and use new clothes!

I hope my kids' teachers have better logic than this. You can't tell who bathes every day because if a kid smells fine, you have no idea if they are bathing every day or not. Assuming that you know which kids bathe every day because some kids smell bad is just....illogical.

+1. The absence of logic is depressing.

Sorry to be the one to say it, but there's a reason these folks are preschool/early ed teachers and not lawyers or scientists.

Also, she absolutely has a bedtime routine. On non-bath nights, it's potty, PJs, brush teeth, read a book, hugs and kisses, and into her crib.

The notion that you have to have a bath every night in order to have a routine and have the kid "feel safe" is insane.

An established routine is all, not "must have bath routine". Some of these posts are so judgmental and people easily get offended and want to call people names.

That’s gross.

What exactly is gross? Outdoor activities?

My 2 yr old bathes everyday, mainly because it's part of her bedtime routine and we both feel a little off if we skip it. Sometimes it's just a quick dip, and I only wash her scant strands of hair about once a week, but it's still a nice way to wind down for both us.

Just 3 baths a week? Oh my!

DP - that's basically every other day. Not at all worthy of an "oh my!" The only thing odd is the order in which pp listed the days.

And actually if one bath is Friday and the next isn’t until Wednesday? That is 5 days -literally almost a week! And then from Wednesday to Sunday is 4 days! And then from Sunday to Friday is another 5 days! This is most definitely not every other day. This is neglect!

Reading. It’s fundamental. It’s fundamental.

Only on the weeks where the calendar skips Wednesdays.

I’m sorry, but the order the poster used was Friday, Wednesday, Sunday. You do the math. If you go in that particular order, I am correct.

No you aren’t. Who said they wanted you to go in order? The sentence immediately before that clearly states 3 baths a week. There are only 7 days in a week pp. Please stop trying to shame this mom.

Every other day required. Then we add more days as needed or wanted.

So maybe she should have written, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday then. It was an odd sequence and didn’t make sense to me.

Looks like someone else found the order odd too.

Why don’t you go have some carbs and calm down?
