How often do your tweens shower?

[mm123]

Ok, maybe this should be a BP, but looking for what you all do. Getting DDs (ages 10 and 12) to shower is such a battle lately! Right now, they shower every other day, but it’s an exhausting process, often involving yelling, threats, consequences, etc. Once they get into the shower it’s fine- they’re obviously completely independent, but getting them to actually do it is painful. So much so, that we’re thinking of going down to once every 3 or 4 days instead. Is that enough?

Curious how often you make your tweens shower. FWIW, my kids are in school every day, so it’s not like they’re out of public and at home all day every day.

And please tell me- at what age do kids magically decide they WANT to shower because they don’t want to stink?!! I can’t wait until they actually decide they need to do it themselves. We’re so tired of the crazy battle! I know it sounds ridiculous, but my kids can’t be the only ones who just don’t ever want to shower.
