Briefly

Maggie Perkins, a former 6th grade teacher, candidly shares vital hygiene tips for parents of middle schoolers on TikTok. She highlights the importance of cutting their children's nails to prevent health issues and urges early use of deodorant, stating that fifth graders should start wearing it before it's noticeable. She emphasizes the need for young girls to have at least a training bra to avoid embarrassment and calls out the necessity of washing frequently worn jackets, which children often neglect. Her straightforward advice aims to help parents navigate the challenges of early adolescence.
If your kids' nails are long and dirty, other kids are noticing and also it is gross, kids literally get impetigo from their own fingernails.
Please start putting deodorant on your kids before you notice that they need it. Fifth grade, guys, fifth grade, deodorant.
No one wants to be made fun of because it looks like they should be wearing a bra and they're not.
I am watching them wipe their snot on the jacket sleeve day after day after day. They're walking around in a dirty snot rag.
