[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its very simple.

1) Begin with clean, showered kids each day.

2) Make sure they have pooped at home in the morning, make sure they brush their teeth and scrape out their tongue so that they have clean breath.

3) Make sure they eat breakfast at home so that they can clean their faces at home. This will prevent a kid with bits of food stuck on their person.

3)A neat haircut/ponytail will allow your kids hair not to look like a mess. In the mornings, after the shower, style their hair with a bit of leave-in hair conditioner and [b]blow dry it[/b].

4) Make them wear fresh, clean, [b]pressed[/b] clothes that smell great.

5) Make sure that their shoes are clean. You can wash sneakers in the washing machine weekly.

Done.  Kids look clean when they are clean to begin with. Many parents wake their kids and dump them in day care in their PJs and in crumpled clothes. So the kids look like shit to begin with.

You blow dry your pre-schoolers hair?! and iron their clothes?! Wow.  I give my 4.5 year old a bath every other night and put leave in conditioner in the mornigns after we don't do bath and she has clean clothes and a headband.  She has really curly hair though and still looks a little crazy no matter what we do.  Blow drying it would be nuts for us, but even with kids with straight hair...[/quote]

There is no way this person has multiple children or a full-time job.  [/quote]

What?  :shock: I am a legal immigrant and have a full-time job in a STEM field. My daily commute is almost an hour and half. I am the mom of two kids and will never let my kids go to school without a shower or in shabby clothes.    I was raised to have a daily routine and I have instilled this in my kids.  And everyone where I came from knew how to sew a button, launder clothes in a machine/by hand, iron their clothes and polish their shoes. Really, this is not rocket science and it take minutes.

Let me break it down for you -  we get up in the morning and make our beds. Next we go to the bathroom - poop, brush, shower, blowdry our hair and dress.  We eat our breakfast and then go to school or work.  As for ironing clothes, you can do it the night before or in the morning but honestly, with a spray starch and a steam iron it just takes a few minutes. The same goes for polishing your shoes if you are wearing leather shoes.

Frankly, I am shocked. These are basic things - showering, brushing your teeth, pooping, wearing clean and ironed clothes, having clean shoes, having a neat hair style, making your beds, eating breakfast. You all seem to be failing in life if you think this is a big deal. And being a WOHM/SAHM Is certainly not an excuse.  I pity the poor teachers who have to deal with kids with poor habits, hygiene and grooming daily.

If you do not know how to iron clothes or polish shoes, you can watch youtube videos and learn. Same for finding some neat and quick hairstyles for your kids. [/quote]
