I watch a five year old little girl and everytime she goes to the bathroom she doesnt wipe. I try to remind her everytime and even if tell her to she usaly doesnt. Well its getting to be a hard thing to deal with today i was out with my mom and she had to go to the bathroom, i took her and told her to wipe. she comes out wash her hands and we go back to hang with my mom she wont sit down i ask her why she said she didnt want to. i told her to sit down she does then she gets back up after a few mins i smell something. she didnt wipe, she isnt my child so i dont feel right wiping for her or check so me and her have to leave and come home to change and take a bath. how can i make her wipe she refuses to and doesnt seem to care if she gets in trouble. HELP please

i'm not good with kids, but maybe you could "scare" her into wiping. like tell her that something bad will happen if she doesn't. that usually worked for me growing up. this wasnt when i was really little but my mom told me that if you dont floss your teeth then they could fall out just like if a building didnt have its foundation or something. so i always flossed from then on. maybe you could try that tactic...

Oh, I had to giggle when I read this. I don't think your girl is much different from many kids her age. My son is 8 and recently has entered the "I don't need to wash my hands" stage. I have to remind him EVERY time he comes out of the bathroom. Keep on this one. She'll grow out of it, I promise. Think of it this way - remember when you were potty training and you had a day or two where you were like "Is she EVER going to be able to use the bathroom". And then she did. She'll do this too. Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't give up. The key is to keep pushing through. Eventually there will come a day when you notice she's doing it by herself. Also, have you tried those disposable bathroom wipes? They're wet like baby wipes but you can flush them. They really helped my son when he was learning to wipe. Even though its a pain in your butt, go with her when she goes to the bathroom around you. If she complains about privacy explain that until she can wipe her bottom like a big girl you have to watch her like moms watch their babies. You can do this! She'll be fine. I know she will. You'll back on this stage and laugh someday. Happy wiping!
