Gross. All the nasty asses coming out of the woodwork

Daily shower, but we shampoo his hair once a week. I have extremely dry hair as an adult and only shampoo my own hair 2x a week, but I condition every day.

It is actually. This is a piece of an article about bathing from Harvard Health who know a whole lot more than you.


Why not bathe a child daily?

Lots of bathing can lead to dry, irritated skin. But also, the skin has natural protective oils, and natural bacteria, that help to keep us healthy and safe — and that can get washed away with daily bathing.

If your preteen looks pretty clean, isn't stinky, isn't covered in bug spray, and hasn't been in a pool or other body of water, it's fine to skip the bath or shower. Really, bathing two or three times a week is fine. In fact, for many kids, even just once or twice a week is fine. You can always do a quick wipe with a wet washcloth to the face, groin area, and any dirty spots.

Greasy hair smells. Children’s hair doesn’t. She can do a ho’s bath if you think it’s necessary between showers but otherwise 2-3x week in winter.

Daily, how is it even a question?

Every day for my 9 year old. She does have thick hair so occasionally I'll throw her shower cap on but that's pretty rare..

Most days. 4 or 5 a week.

Every day, hair washing 2-3x per week depending on hair type and activity levels. Moisturizer after shower.

Once shes a tween and needs a daily shower badly (girls smell too…) you won’t be able to build a habit from scratch. And if you want a daughter traumatized let her be the one with BO in middle school.

Wow. Do better at kindness, and not judging and shaming other people.

I hope this isn’t how you treat your kids and isn’t the example you set for them.

This ain’t it. Bring back shame! Daily bathing should be the default. There are of course some limited exceptions. Stop using “be nice!!” as a shield against criticism. And stop being nasty and wash your ass.

We do every day unless we have a late activity (which is usually once a week) for my 8 yo. I learned with my 10 year old you slide pretty quickly into body odor - better to get in the habit soon, in my opinion

Every day.
It’s about consistency and less room to argue if it’s something that happens daily.

Same here. Once a week only.

Or 5 if it's a quick navy style shower.
