How Do You Get A 10 Y/o To Wipe Himself After A Bowel Movement Without Help?

Saint Anne, IL

I don't know what to do he's 10 y/o and has gone back to not being able to wipe himself after a bowel movement, and also can not bathe himself properly without my help.

My daughter is 9 and still needs prompts when she is showering in order to get clean. When it comes to toileting, she is very independent and doesn't like help. She had an issue with just not getting clean enough after a bowel movement, I started keeping wipes in the bathroom and now she does great.

I know it can be frustrating at times but you are doing great:)
