[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, I asked my DD (14) about this post in the car, and she said “don’t do anything, eventually a kid will say something about it to her….anything a mom does will just make it worse”

FWIW.

I’m surprised her parents have not noticed and said something? I had to be super firm with one of my sons about hygiene around preteen age.

Also- is it at all possible this is a “ food/cooking odors” issue- odors picked up  on clothing? Sometimes smells JUST like BO IME. In college, we all had to change shirts after eating in the dining hall- the place just had a stench and seeped into our clothes! I realize that sounds crazy but was totally true. I don’t know the cause either.

Thank you. Your DD has high empathy and social understanding.

Non-related adults really have no business talking to this tween/teen about her hygiene. The recommended scripts are all terribly inappropriate because of that.

Kids do generally figure these things out eventually through their peer groups, if not at home. [/quote]
