In this episode of Parents of the Year, we're getting real about kids, hygiene, and how much of it is your job — and how much might be better left to peer pressure.

From stinky kids turning into fashion divas overnight, to whether you should keep nagging about teeth-brushing, Andrew and Caroline share stories and smart strategies that meet kids where they’re at. 

If you’ve ever wrestled with letting go, setting limits, or just figuring out when to step in, you’ll love this honest take on growing up... and letting them grow up, too. 

Homework Challenge:

• Pick one hygiene habit your child needs to own (e.g., brushing teeth, putting on deodorant, changing clothes).
• Let them choose how they want to take responsibility for it. No nagging — just offer brainstorming support if they want it.
• Try helping them pair the habit with something they already do daily (like peeing = deodorant).
• Hold the boundary if it affects you (e.g., "You can go to school stinking, but if you're watching TV with me, you need to be clean.")
