WITHOUT THE STINKIN' FUSS

Let’s tackle the scentsitive issues of adolescent hygiene - today, we're diving into a topic that's a bit on the nose: getting your teen son to wear deodorant. Let's face it, being a mum or dad is challenging, but dealing with your kid's body odour? That's a whole other level of parenting prowess. So, here are five bullet-proof tips to help your teen smell fresh without any drama:
1. The Forgetful Teen
Ah, the teenage brain - a marvel of growth, yet sometimes forgetful. Help your teen make deodorant a non-negotiable part of their daily routine with simple reminders. Stick a neon-colored note on their bathroom mirror that screams "DEODORANT!" or set a discreet alarm on their smartphone (yes even at recess or lunchtime). Remember, repetition is key, and soon enough, reaching for that Neon Goat Shvitz Stick (or Spritz) will be as automatic as scrolling through TikTok.
2. The Embarrassed Teen:
Body changes can be awkward, and some teens would rather endure a zombie apocalypse than talk about body odour. If direct conversation is a no-go, try stealth mode. Leave a cool-looking Neon Goat deodorant on the counter, or better yet, get their best mate to drop it on the counter for you! Empowerment is the name of the game, and choosing their own deodorant can turn a chore into a choice. Neon Goat Shvitz Stick or Shvitz Spritz?!
3. The Oblivious Teen:
Some teens genuinely don't realize they're the source of that mysterious smell. Approach this delicately - no one wants to be the "smelly kid." Emphasise that body odour is a normal part of growing up and that everyone experiences it. Keep the conversation light, and maybe share a funny story from your own teen years to show that you've been there too.
4. The "Too Cool for School" Teen:
For some, deodorant feels like just another task on their never-ending to-do list. But here's the thing - once they start noticing that special someone, suddenly personal hygiene shoots up their priority list. Encourage this natural shift by subtly pointing out the social benefits of smelling good. A little nudge in the right direction can work wonders.
5. The Struggling Teen:
Sometimes, poor hygiene can be a sign of deeper issues, like depression. If you suspect your teen is going through a tough time, it's crucial to seek professional help. Remember, your role as a parent is not just to manage their hygiene but to support their overall well-being..
Navigating body odour with your tween or teen is a delicate dance, but with a bit of tact, respect, and a hint of Neon Goat magic, you can turn this potentially stinky situation into a bonding experience. And hey, why not start with our line of natural deodorants made just for our boys?
