How to get my 7 yr old DD to wipe herself?

how about using the disposable wet wipes for like during potty training? maybe she is super sensative in thaty area.

I tried that. It's like she's in a hurry or going to miss something...I don't know! It's frustrating!

Hmmm, I was going to suggest the disposable wipes too.
My son used to have a problem with wiping after he pooped...he just didn't do it,lol.
So he would get a rash and a really itchy butt. After I explained why he would get the itchy butt he started to take better care of how he wiped. But i'm sure you've already explained this to her. I guess just time and she will eventually get it. Just have her holler for you after shes done using the bathroom so you can check her to make sure shes clean...maybe she'll grow tired of that and start doing it better herself.

Just out of curiosity, why did you let it go this long? You should have addressed this issue during potty training and should have been reinforcing it all this time.

You may have to go into the bathroom with her and supervise for a while. Show her the correct way to wipe (front to back), why we wipe and explain that she could get a very nasty painful infection if she does not.

Yeah, but some kids do things for awhile and then stop. My kids all did the potty training thing then stopped for about six months until they were ready to start again. My daughter has been trained for about a year and unless I stand there and make her wipe, she won't.

Monitor her wiping herself a bit of time. After that time, have her do it herself. When she comes out, ask her if she wiped or not (her body language should give her away or not.) If she says she didn't, or lies to you, make her go change her undies after monitoring her wiping. When she gets sick of changing her undies (and esentially getting undressed and redressed) after every bathroom visit she'll probably be more likely to wipe.

When you find out let me know. My son is 5 and is horrible about not wiping his butt!
