She is almost 4. It's usually clean, though. She eats well, but I can't stop checking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1398577 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:36:52 +0000 T-Mom 1398577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We helped my DD wipe at home until she turned 5. But she wiped by herself (or maybe she didn't wipe, I'm not sure) at school when she entered early childhood, which was age 3. We asked the teachers to help at that age, but I'm not really sure they did. They didn't seem to excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397520 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:45:53 +0000 erwoo 1397520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: Seriously! I just hope for the best! And expect to toss some undies. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397495 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:37:45 +0000 mamimami 1397495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: Let's just keep giving them plenty of fiber and hoping for the best ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397485 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:34:39 +0000 erwoo 1397485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is almost 5 and I'm still helping him wipe at home. At school his teachers will help. Now, when he starts kinder... I'm sure he'll have to do it by himself. I doubt he'll have a restroom in his room like he does now. I think he is capable of doing it himself. Thankfully, he's a pretty clean pooper so there is usually not a lot to wipe except when he has an upset belly. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397475 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:31:25 +0000 autumnlove 1397475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my friend helped her daughter wipe until 4.5, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397468 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:30:23 +0000 Mamaof2 1397468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: He might! My sister said all 4 of her kids quickly learned that if they poop at home they wont have to wipe and stopped pooping at school - haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397459 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:28:45 +0000 mamimami 1397459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Yeah I was wondering about that... my son (most likely) starts a new school in August and I am wondering if they expect that.... he'll be a few months shy of 4 at that point. Maybe I can just hope he'll refrain from crapping between 7:45 and 12:30 every day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397451 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:27:06 +0000 Mamaof2 1397451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At DCP when they turn 4 they are expected to wipe - I was shocked as this seemed WAY young to me - so I had no choice but to teach him. Sometime he does good sometimes not....</p> <p>At home I will still help sometimes but otherwise he does it himself - he is 5 now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-expect-a-child-to-wipe-after-2#post-1397447 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:25:23 +0000 mamimami 1397447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for the graphic poop talk this lovely Tuesday morning!! Just wondering when I get to stop being on wipe patrol. </p>
