[quote=Anonymous]Every day - either bath or shower.  Nothwithstanding lack of sweat or activity, it's just good practice to wash.  I cannot believe so many people on this thread don't bother cleaning their kids.  I'm hardly Howard Hughes' mom but between sports, out-and-about with other kids, school, pre-k, peeing (sometimes a work in progress - do they really wash their hands when they are not told?) I just think a wash works.  And it's a good transition to bed.  Maybe I'm old fashioned (although not as Elizabethan (not the bath!!) as some on this thread) but I like my clean, washed littlies to go to sleep and start the day without yesterday's grime.  And they love time in the shower - singing, dancing under the water and trying to drown eachother.  All good.   Most improtantly though, it's the patterns you're developing for later.  I well remember at school a kid who didn't wash much and was called "stinky."  I think that good, not neurotic, personal hygiene is a gift you can give to you kids.      [/quote]
