[quote=Anonymous]My kid will wear the same hoodie for a week and then we wash on the weekend. But agree with PP(s) that age of the kid matters. Mine is just-turned 7 and no signs of puberty at all. We know that we will need to start increasing hygiene habits over the next few years. Right now we are trying to push the shift to showers instead of baths, and ensure they happen daily. DC really fights bathing so it's been an uphill battle, but I want to do it now when we aren't also dealing with puberty hormones and before any issues emerge around smelling bad. I feel awful for kids who hit puberty and you can tell still have the hygiene skills/habits of a kindergartener. I think it can impact them socially and can also impact self-esteem -- it's really good for kids to learn the psychological benefits of good hygiene. They are real![/quote]
