[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will she do it if you stand over her / help her? If so, do that. [/quote] Give a praise, sticker/reward chart. Is this a sensory thing, body awareness thing, or in attention? If it’s sensory have her practice wipe after a bath. If it’s a body awareness or inattentiveness, you may need a system of reminders. [/quote] This. Obviously just talking and begging her to do it is not working. You have to get involved in toileting again. Pay attention to when she is using the bathroom. Say, "Sweetie, you need to wipe to stay clean and healthy. Here is how much toilet paper to use." Tear off the amount. Coach her through one or two wipes. If it was poop and she still is not clean, say "Sometimes you need to do it twice." and hand her more paper. Hopefully you will be able to figure out what the hang up is by watching and talking to her about it. [/quote]
