Are you the type of parent that gets upset or nervous when you child gets dirty? I used to get that way a lot but I have a boy and I am growing to understand that he needs to play. Especially come the summer time. I am just the type of person that likes things to be clean. How about you?

Both of my daughters loved to play outside when they were young, and dirt comes with the territory. lol It never concerned me a bit, they had their bath time at night, so they went to bed clean. lol. However, they were always cleaned up if we were going somewhere. It does bother me to see small children out at stores, resturants, etc. that appear to not had a bath in days.

Thank you for replying today. I do agree with you that the children can get a bath at night. It is only natural for them to play outside and get a little dirty. I have seen some children myself that have dirty hands and faces and it looks like they don't get bathed. I feel bad for that kind of thing.1 person likes this

I never worried when my kids would get dirty (up to a point). I've read several studies in the past few years that actually show that a moderate amount of dirt is actually good because it helps create immunities to several types of bacteria. I raised my kids on several farms, so staying clean was not really an option.

Im a bit of both really, I like them to be clean say if we are going out or to visit family (or at the very least start off clean!).
If we are just at home or playing outside then sure they can get as dirty as they like clothes can be changed to go out and faces and hands can be cleaned aswell.
