Helping kid wipe - how old it too old?

Anonymous
Our five year old asks for help at home. I don’t mind but drives my husband nuts. How old is too old?

I help my 5 yo. She does it alone at school, which is all that matters me.

We supervise but do not physically assist. She is 6. We started that approach at age 5.

In my house, the kids were fully toilet trained by age 3. There is a stool so they can reach the faucet and soap.

For other kids I would say before their 4th birthday.

Our three (nearly four) year old does it, she's just not very good at it and then freaks out when there's a poop streak in her underwear.

So we'll be helping for a while. I don't think that five is too old to be helping.

Get a bidet toilet seat... everything clean and fresh.

And you'll want one for yourself after you try it.

Don't water droplets drip/roll down your legs though?

I think my son was about 5-6 or so when we totally stopped helping.
