8 year old new stuff to know?

Question

My son is almost 8 years old is there anything I need to know health wise or anything about him?

When do they wear deodorant or anything like that any other things please add

Answer 1

An eight-year-old I used to baby-sit discovered an erection for the first time when he woke up in the morning. My niece started wearing deodorant around that age. In general, I think eight-year-old boys tend to be obnoxious, wanting to talk about bodily functions (gas, etc.) a lot, so you'll probably figure it out as you go. Good luck!!

Answer 2

well when he is 9 puberty.

deorant  maybe now mabye 13

Answer 3

This would depend a lot on how soon he'll be hitting puberty.  For a good idea, see when his father started.

At 8 years old, he probably doesn't need to start wearing deodorant.  That will come into play in a few years when he starts getting the "man smell"...and trust me, you can tell!

He should be bathing at LEAST every other day.  Now is a good time to start on other hygene things like making sure to wash his face 2 times a day, take regular showers...etc.

Another good thing to work on now is clothing choices...what 'goes' together and basic matching ideas.  Don't over-do it...he's a BOY, but helping him to choose outfits that don't look like he dressed in the dark is a good thing.

Sit back and let him be a BOY...because he'll be on his way to being a man way too fast!
