Foot Odor Causes Embarrassment For Child

I read a blog post awhile ago where a teacher wanted the children to sit on the floor and take their shoes off. I don't know why removing shoes was part of the deal - maybe just to be more comfortable. As I said, I don't know.

One poor kid put up a fuss because he had stinky feet and didn't want to take his shoes off. Instead of tactfully switching gears and allowing him to keep his shoes on if he wanted to, or making shoe removal a choice, the teacher ridiculed the poor kid in front of everyone!

She told him he couldn't have stinky feet because he was just a kid, and who knows what else.

I was appalled she would post for all the world to see not only how ignorant she was (and probably still is) as well as how insensitive she was (or is) and how she seemed to think it was OK to humiliate the poor kid.

I wish I knew where she taught so I could warn others what to expect.

Unfortunately there are far too many cruel and insensitive adults in the lives of kids who could really use a caring adult to provide support and guidance, whether about foot odor or some other issue.

Don't risk subjecting your child to the ridicule of adults or other children over something as easily preventable as foot odor.

Help For Your Kid's Stinky Feet

Stinky feet can be a problem for some kids as early as infancy. Initially most moms don't consider it to be that big of a deal. After all, other parts of an infant have a reputation for being much more stinky than the baby's feet!

However, as your child grows older, the stinky feet problem only gets worse. By the time your child enters school those stinky feet become the source of teasing and ridicule resulting in embarrassment and humiliation.

The smell of stinky feet is offensive to almost everyone. Kids pick up on the reactions of others, and become self-conscious about their stinky feet. For many kids, all the hygiene in the world will not make that funky stinky feet odor go away.

They wash their feet daily, sometimes several times a day, before and after school. They wear clean absorbent socks and rotate their shoes to let their shoes air out between each wearing, but NOTHING seems to work. They dread gym class. They dread sleepovers. They dread sitting around watching TV. They dread riding home in the car with others after playing sports.

They dread being made fun of.

They would do anything to not have stinky feet.

So what are some of the methods people have suggested to help get rid of that stinky feet odor?

• Wash your feet several times a day. This is NOT practical for anyone who is not home all day.
• Change your socks and even your shoes during the day. This is not practical, either.
• Soak your feet in tea. I would think this would stain your skin, and I can't imagine a kid sitting around soaking his or her feet every night. Not practical.
• Soak your feet in vodka! Some would say that would be a waste of vodka while others would balk of the whole idea.
• Soak your feet in a weak bleach solution. That CANNOT be safe!
• Soak your feet in any number of home brewed concocted solutions.
• Buy some expensive product from someone's website. Buy more of it next month if it works.

As you can see, the above methods are impractical at best and downright dangerous at worst. They can be and often are very pricey.

Not only that, there is no guarantee they will even work!

But there is hope!

About Foot Odor

About Foot Odor

Body odor that affects people's feet is known as foot odor or less formally as stinky feet. Most people, at least in Western cultures , consider it to be, shall we say tactfully, an unpleasant smell.

Foot odor happens when your feet are enclosed in shoes and/or socks, without adequate air ventilation. The longer your feet are enclosed, the stinkier they get.

Feet have lots of sweat glands and when feet get warm, they naturally sweat to try to cool off.

Lots of sweat glands means lots of sweat.

Lots of sweat glands means there are lots of places for naturally occurring bacteria to thrive in a warm, moist environment.

The bacteria feed on dead skin as well as amino acids in the sweat. The resulting byproducts have that obnoxious stench that no one likes.

Aside from washing your stinky feet, what can you do to eliminate foot odor?
