How To Teach Toddlers To Wipe Themselves
Don't let your toddler be surprised on how easy it is to wipe themselves
When children are potty training, they may not be able to wipe themselves. This is normal, since they cannot necessarily reach and they do not have the motor skills yet to be able to wipe themselves. You will need to check your child, as well as possibly continue to help them wipe too up until they are 5 to 6 years of age.
