[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 13 year old who has not started puberty. He showers after he has been out doing anything leading to sweating, so after sports practice, and after he has been swimming. Otherwise he takes a shower every other day. He knows he will need to take a shower daily when he starts puberty and the BO kicks in. I lived in Europe, my college age roommates bathed twice a week, that is why they wore perfume and cologne. They were all healthy and perfectly fine. Bathing too frequently is actually bad for your skin and hair. The obsession with showering and being totally clean is very much an American thing. OP, your child is fine with bathing every other day. But yes, make sure she knows how to wipe after pooping, that is a hygiene thing.[/quote] Just because something isn’t European doesn’t make it very much an American thing. Lots of cultures shower every day. Expand your horizons![/quote]
