Moms of ~5 year old girls?!

Question

Please help! My daughter will not wipe after peeing unless I'm right there demanding it. I've told her she will stink and itch. I've even told her she will get bugs in her privates! She just won't do it. Any advice? Please!

Answer

I don't have a daughter yet. She won't be here until January but this is interesting to know. My son is a clean freak so he always makes sure his bathroom duties are done :) but what if you make a little toy box and go to the dollar store and but little toys, candy, fruit snack, stickers, nail polish, fake makeup and anything else you can think of and tell her she can pick one out of the box if she wipes without being asked. Good luck :)

Answer

My oldest had always been wonderful at this, my youngest (5) notsomuch. We have been working on making a saying of things she needs to do every time she uses the bathroom, and we have talked a lot about taking good care of our body so it stays healthy...honestly, in my daughter's case, I think she just in a hurry...I'm not much help. :/

Answer

I have this problem with my daughter not wiping! Except she is also wiping back to front after a bm! I have her use baby wipes and I tried explaining how important it is for her to wipe the right way before she starts kindergarten. I'm kind of at a loss too on how to get her to start wiping appropriately. Every night before bed i make sure she is clean so she doesn't get a yeast infection or a uti..
