Just keep at it. With DD it was a nonissue and she was 100% bathroom independent by four. With DS, we had to offer rewards at bathtime for a clean bum. He still calls the Matchbox cars he earned “bum cars”.

No tips, but just saying me too. He has already told me he "just won't go poop at school" when I try to reinforce that we need to work on this school. Ugh.

Mine just skips it. Barf.

My son, who is 5, is terrible at wiping his own butt. We've been practicing for what feels like a year, but he doesn't seem any better now than he was a year ago.

It seems like a lot of the time, there is some leftover poop that doesn't quite drop, and then wiping just smears it everywhere.

DS is off to K next year and I feel like this is a critical life skill.

Any tips?
