  Case: Body Odor
A student walks past you as they enter the classroom, and they smell horrible. How can you address this without embarrassing the student and keeping the student around them from being disruptive?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Privately talking to them about their odor can help and avoid embarrassment around their peers. I have a student in first grade who occasionally comes in smelling like he hasn’t bathed in a few days and we’re aware of his home life and know he doesn’t get the proper attention he needs. So privately my CT has sat with him and told him that he needs to take a bath or shower every night and that he doesn’t need grandma or dad to tell him to. She suggested to him that once he finishes his homework every night to bathe and make it a part of his own routine. That being said most counselors or nurses offices have deodorant or fresh wipes for students to use
