[quote=Anonymous]A few things:

- Is your kid regular? Can you help him get regular? A lot of kids just magically never poop at school -- they poop after school. I have a kid who probably pooped at school maybe 10x between age 3 and 6. I am certain it started with her being wary of using the potty on her own at school after potty training (she'd do it, but she was a reluctant potty trainer anyway) and holding poop to some degree. But eventually it was just her schedule which made it easy.

- Does your kid have "clean poops"? Diet can impact this a lot. If your kid has very sticky poops, maybe look into dietary changes that might help with this, as it will make everyone's life a lot easier for YEARS to come. I wiped butts until age 5, and then you have this transition stage where they do it but they are still not great at it. If their poop comes out clean, it helps a lot with keeping things from getting gross during this phase. Because guess what, 7 year olds are generally not super conscientious about this even though they are physically more capable.

- If your kid isn't bathing nightly, now is the time to start. And also for them to learn about the "quick bath/shower" where they don't necessarily wash hair but they clean all the their dirty bits, including a butt that is not being wiped very well at school.

Anyway, yeah, very few preschools are wiping kids butts, the logistics of this are not reasonable, plus there's a reason they choose to go into preschool age instead of 0-3 where changing diapers/wiping butts is just a part of the job.[/quote]
