My son is to start pre-school in the next two weeks.  He is potty trained very well.  Unfortunatly I have not taught him to wipe his butt yet.  I didn't realize a three year old should be wiping.  Any advice?  He goes when he needs too, gets on the potty himself, flushes, etc.  Just concerned about the wiping...Any advice would be helpful.

Your best bet is to get flushable wet wipes and start 'helping' him by you holding his hand and showing him how to wipe himself.

There WILL be messed up underwear from not wiping well.

You may want to go ahead and get some sort of bum lotion cause he'll probably get a raw hiney from not wiping good. But that's a good teaching too. If you wipe good, your hiney won't hurt.

It just takes time. He'll catch on.
