Good Enough Parenting
Showers, Stinky feet, and Saving your sanity
You know that moment when your kid comes home from a full day of school and sports—covered in mystery smudges and smelling like a locker room—and then acts personally offended when you suggest a shower? Yeah, me too.
If your kid melts like the Wicked Witch the moment they hear the water running, you’re not alone.
This week on Good Enough Parenting, I’m joined by Sabrina Yavil, mom of 3 boys, former beauty executive and founder of Gryme, a personal care brand created just for kids. We talk about why bath time can feel like such a battle, how our kids are actually wired for self-care independence (even when they're filthy), and how simplifying your routine with the right products can save your sanity—and your relationship.
The goal? Helping our kids build self-sufficient habits using clean products that actually make bath time easier—for them and for us.
✨ Bonus: Sabrina shares what she learned from 20 years in the beauty industry—and why so many kids’ products are secretly full of junk.
If you’ve ever bribed your kid to use soap, threatened to cancel dessert over conditioner, or wondered if your kids are actually allergic to water. … this episode is for you.
And remember, if bathtime battles get overwhelming this summer, sometimes a dip in a pool or a run through the sprinkler is good enough.
