Description

You catch a whiff during the car ride home. Apparently your tween’s refusal to shower has reached new heights. What’s a parent to do? From the early days of bathtime battles to the awkward puberty talks and buying that first stick of deodorant, teaching kids to care for their bodies can be surprisingly complicated. This week, Lisa and the Council of Moms—Erika Price, Amy Hackworth, and Geraldine “G” Fitisemanu—tackle the question: How do you teach proper hygiene to your kids? They open up about how they started hygiene routines young, why they normalize conversations about body changes, and how the lessons they’ve learned balance consistency with compassion.
