A question about how hygiene standards have changed over the years.

I know that decades ago, it was commonplace to teach children to bathe once or twice a week. But was it also commonplace to teach children to brush their teeth less? Change their socks less? Etc.
How often were you taught to brush your teeth and change your socks, wash your hair, etc?

One bath per week (and we shared water), brush teeth twice a day, morning and night, and a new pair of socks every morning (or more often if you stood in something).

@GlassDog Interesting that only bathing seems to have changed.

@33person Partly I think it's because I was only 6 or 7 and didn't really sweat. As soon as I got to 11 or 12, I had to wash every day.
