I'm not sure if some of you aren't making this up, it's so shocking to me.

I'm the weekly poster, and sometimes we're busy on Sunday so we push it a day or two. Should we do it a bit more? Probably.  Is is a big deal? Not at all. Even the American Academy of Dermatology says once a week is fine for kids aged 6-11 (https://www.aad.org/public/skin-hair-nails/skin-care/child-bathing).

If you want to be shocked, here are some things that I think are more important than exceeding the recommended bathing frequency:
"Nationwide, 70 percent to 90 percent of parents hit or slap their children" - http://health.usnews.com/health-news/articles/2014/04/29/spanking-may-be-more-common-than-parents-admit
About a third of children drink more than 2 sodas or similar drinks a day. - http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/26/health/sugary-drinks-children-cdc-study/
Most low income kids don't have books in their home - http://bookharvestnc.org/why-books/statistics/
