I agree you should have her bathe before bed. Maybe no one has ever told her she needs to bathe every day. If it was me, I'd rather try to gently encourage her to bathe every day, because eventually, you know how cruel kids can be, someone is gonna hurt her feelings. If you talk to her now, you may be able to save her some heartache.

My Mom is like this too. I learned from her. I truly think the best thing is to either talk to the child or talk to the parent. Sometimes it can be a symptom of a serious health issue like diabetes or something else. I used to work with a guy(adult) who would eat raw garlic everyday for lunch!

Finally had to sit him down and have a talk with him. He never realized that he smelled, went to the dr and got pills! Everyone was happy!

Poor girl! I don't know what it could be, but I know my mother was AND I am the same way w/ my daughters friends....I always tell them to take a shower before bed....and then they can paint toe nails and finger nails, etc.

That is so sad! Maybe you should have them play "dress up" and wash her clothes. Anyway to get her in the bath tub?

I have a neice and nephew and when they come over they smell just like a ash tray. I keep clothes for them here that way when they come over I make them get right in the shower and put clean clothes on.

It's so sad how some people don't care about others health.

I thought about the garlic, too. If you rub a clove of garlic on the bottom of a child's foot, you will smell it on their breath the next day. If you eat a lot of it, it'll come out of your pores the next day. Some people cook everything with garlic - could that possibly be the culprit?

Why would you rub a garlic clove on a child's foot??

I'm not being nasty I just don't understand... is it for a old home remedy for something?

How did the spa day go?

tanksmom · 04-06-2008, 05:12 PM

We did do a Spa style day. But it didnt go quite as planned. My Alyssa said right out there. "you stink so we need bathes first." The other Elissa didnt even bat an eyelash at her. I guess shes use to being told she stinks. I wasnt able to talk to her Mom when I dropprd her off, she was at the ER because she cant stop throwing up. Not a good sign.

I work in elem. special ed at our school. When we have a child that has an offensive odor on them, we go to the school counselor who takes care of the problem. He calls the parents and talks to the student. Many lower-income families only buy their child one pair of cheap sneakers. Wearing the same shoes day after day, not changing socks, not taking a bath, causes a nose-burning stench. Dirty hair is also another cause of the nose-burning smell. These are the two odors that we have found to be the most offensive. Obviously, if an animal is urinating on a child's clothes, it would be extremely smelly.

We actually encountered that one, too, several years ago.
