[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From 5 to 8 years old, usually just one time a week.  At 8, now two times per week.  Kids never stink, but are very active.  Healthy kids who are almost never sick.  [/quote]

I'm a teacher, and I'm pretty sure your 8 year old does stink....you just don't notice.  Twice a week showers is not enough, and kind of gross.  [/quote]

I AGREE.  Even if the child has sensitive skin, their are bubble baths and sensitive skin soaps plus lotions to use.  I can't see how a little water and light use of a mild soap could be harm a child, especially if you use lotion immediately after.

I was having itchy dry scaling skin. Once I exfoliated, increased my showers, and went back to my dove soap, my skin improved.[/quote]

You can use a tiny bit of coconut oil too, if your kid has sensitive skin. [/quote]

I like whole foods brand aloe Vera gel.  So affordable and does wonders for skin and dry hair after showering.  Also it edible.

So many affordable products that won't dry skin, just I improve, so there is no reason to not bathe.

Some use head and shoulders shampoo as body wash for kids with eczema.[/quote]
