At the end of the 2008 school year I was helping out with my son's 1st grade end-of-school party in Arizona. By May it is HOT outside, so when the kids piled back into the classroom after recess, ready to party, they were sweaty and stinky. I was actually surprised at just how stinky a class full of 7-year-olds smelled. I felt really bad for their teacher who had been putting up with the smell every afternoon since the weather warmed up in March. It was then that I decided my son would be wearing deodorant to school.
Isn't he too cute to be stinky?
Remembering the experience, I had my daughter start wearing deodorant in first grade, when the weather was warmer, and I am sure I will do the same with my youngest when she gets older too. It is easy to introduce new routines when they are young and it makes them feel like they are getting to do something grown-up. This option is much more appealing then waiting until middle school when it might just come out sounding like I was telling them they stink. Like they don’t have enough to deal with in middle school!
How do you deal with your kiddos and the deodorant situation? How old were they, or will they be, when you start having them wear antiperspirant or deodorant? I don’t know about you, but this isn’t something I remember planning when I thought about having kids.
Do you ever have questions or concerns and you don't know whom to ask? Unilever, the company that makes Degree® , Dove®, and Suave® products, has made it their business to help parents and kids remain cool, calm and confident throughout the day. Now they are taking it a step further than just manufacturing deodorant and antiperspirant. They have brought together community partners and a panel of experts to offer an educational resource available to you on the Don't Fret The Sweat Facebook page
Don't Fret The Sweat provides parents with tools and kids with opportunities to conquer sweat-inducing moments, build confidence and be inspired in everything they do.

One thing about parenting that makes me sweat? Hmmm...Has to be taking all 3 kids into a public restroom. (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!)
I'm only a parent to my fur baby, Sadie. But as I live in a city, I sweat when she wants to act less than lady-like in front of people. Like she usually decides she has to potty right in front of a church. And then I have to clean up in front of the church-goers too.
KK
We live in AK so my kids don't sweat too much, but I work up a sweat just getting all 3 kids in all their snow clothes, jackets, hats, gloves, and boots on. Just thinking about it makes me hot.
I don't have my own kids yet, but I help other people take care of theirs... at a child fitness center. There's a lot of sweating going on! I'd never thought about when I'd introduce my own kids to deodorant, but I love your approach to it :) I think you've just saved me one parenting headache in the future. Thank you!
One thing about parenting that makes me sweat is making sure they don't fall into a bad crowd.

I too have never thought about this for my kids either! Guess, I better get to thinking...hope mine don't stink.
I am most sweaty when doing the mad dash home, picking up kids, making dinner, baths and bed. The 2nd job I like to do it. A mother's (in my case a single mother's) job is never over.
My kids are all raising their kids. What makes me sweat? When we are all together and they try to raise each other's kids. Gets . . . rather tense!
I'm always amazed at how literally sweaty I get from putting my toddler's shoes on her. She has such pudgy feet - it's a workout getting them into shoes I guess!
I just had my kids start using deodorant in the 6th grade~but maybe I should have started them sooner!
I really start sweating when it's time to send them to college. It's when you find out how well you raised them.
parenting makes me sweat about discipline - knowing how strict is too strict! scg00387 at yahoo dot com

I have a Grown son & now a grandson, so I "sweat" about is he doing what he should be for his age (he's 2). I worry/ "sweat" about him growing up with the way things are in the world!

I have two girls, and I really sweat over what they learn from other kids at school. I can help them study, learn to use deodorant, wear clothes that keep them warm or cool depending on the weather, and which fork to use for the salad course. But my kids come home and tell me about how another girl called them fat. Or they tell me that one of their friends has to move because the Daddy just lost his job. Or they ask me to tell them the definition of a bad word or something inappropriate for their age. The world has them more hours in the day than I do and I just want to help them learn how to get through it as good people. I'm sweating just thinking about it!
i sweat changing the diaper of an active 11 month old. but anything worth doing is worth sweating about, right?!
along with the fact that bananas stain, all new mothers need to know that their sweet smelling little ones will need to wear deodorant to continue to be sweet (smelling).
thanks Lorie!

What made me sweat the most as a parent....knowing that I was forming a future adult. It made me ever mindful of the morals and examples I shared. Lessons learned were important in that they were repeated every day in the way I treated the children around me. My 1st and constant one? I call all kiddos Sir and M'am as I hope they will learn that respect for others.

What makes me sweat? As a single mom I feel the weight of their "everything" on my shoulders. Are they being kind, do they have good friends, are they good friends, are they learning, will they grow up to be good people?

Having kids all grown, you still sweat!
I am with you, it just wasn't something I thought about. I still have a 3 and 4 yr old, so I really didn't think that in the not-so-distant-future I would be having to get my daughter to wear deodorant. YIKES! My babies are growin up quick.

I "sweat" about whether I'll get to have kids, since I'm 40 and have been looking for work for almost 3 years, with another 2 year span between undergrad and grad school when I couldn't find jobs paying what I'd earned without a degree, let alone more. I worry I won't earn enough, since I'll likely be a single parent. I don't "sweat" whether I'll be nurturing, but I DO "sweat" being patient, because kids do crazy stuff, whether it's dangerous, irritating, rude, etc., I see how stressful it can be. Luckily, I see how rewarding parenthood is, too. I see my friends with their kids and am so proud of what great parents they are, especially those who didn't have a good model.

My sweating moments were when they started driving, that was scary thinking about them being on the road and worried they might not react quick enough if something happened, I really freaked when my son had to drive in the winter and snow was deep, of course I insisted he let me know he made it to his destination ok and then I was ok, but it was still a scary sweaty moment

The thing I sweat the most about are parent/teacher conferences
One thing that makes me sweat is making sure I am doing everything right! I want to be the best parent and raise great girls! 3tiff3@gmail.com

This Gramma says that toddlers make me break out in a cold sweat the MOST. I find the supervision of toddlers to be grey-hair creating! LOL I managed to live thru it however. NOW- it's the boomerang sons who are making me sweat. Oh yes, I'm sweating it out right now.

My children are grown now but when they were teen what made me sweat was worrying that they would get into drugs. But we made it through the teens with lots of communication and love. helenkeeler@comcast.net

The time commitment involved with parenting makes me sweat! I'm 25, and I'm just waiting for some of my newly married friends to announce they are expecting. While I know they are ready for it, I am not in that place yet. I can't imagine giving up some of my freedoms (not having every moment of every day planned out, being able to take spontaneous weekend trips, going out to fancy restaurants for diner, and more). I might get there someday, but for now--it definitely makes me sweat!

I think teaching them to drive was BIG
I sweat when my kids are sick or get hurt.
