Parents too often assume that 10 or 11 year olds will somehow naturally learn what they need to know about hygiene. But that's not true. Someone has to teach them.

Here are some hygiene tips

Body odor

Once puberty hits, daily showering becomes essential. Recommend that they use a mild soap and concentrate on the face, hands, feet, underarms, groin and bottom.

Greasy hair

Some teens may prefer to skip days to prevent their hair from drying out. Others may want to wash their hair daily,especially if they have oily hair, which can both look greasy and aggravate acne.

Body hair removal

When you notice hair on your teens upper lip or legs, you can offer a brief course on razor use. Whether or not he or she wants to shave yet, at least you've provided the information. Girls may also be interested in hair removal products. You can go over the options. Your daughter may also need some reassurance; stray facial hairs that loom large when she's an inch away from the mirror may not be visible to anyone else.

Changing clothes

Before puberty, your kid might have gotten away with wearing the same shirt or even the same underwear and same socks, day after day without anyone noticing. After puberty, that won't work. Get your teen to understand that along with showering, wearing clean clothes each day is an important part of teen hygiene.
