Teaching How to Clean up After #2

To help teach my son, I made a visual game of it so he would nderstand the concept. I filled a paper cup with shaving cream and gave him colored napkins. He had to wipe all the shaving cream out of the cup using as many napkins and as much time as needed. If any cream showed on the colored napkin, that meant that the cup was still dirty. While he had fun doing this task, we then related it to wiping in the bathroom. If the tissue is dirty, then you have to keep cleaning! He loved using the Kandoo wipes too though we taught him to only use 1-2 wet wipes and tp the rest of the time. Now he gets the concept.....if only I could get him to care about it ;)

I would have him use wipes rather than TP in the begining, it is a lot easier. Also, tell him to keep wiping until the wipes stay clean

GOOD LUCK

Mother of two sons here.They are still a bit messy and are 23 and eighteen. Well, not sure about them personally, but they still leave everything out, a flood on the washroom floor and the toothpaste caps off. Anyway, just keep doing the best you can. If he's really stinky then of course point it out in a fun way, and perhaps there will be a few extra loads of laundry in case of mistakes. And my all time favorite was enlisting my husband's help. In some of these life lessons we have to wait it out sometimes.

Lifesaver for me was having them wipe then follow up with a wet flushable wipe besides-

I would buy the flushable wipes for my son when he started cleaning himself. Once they start going to school a teacher isn't going to wipe them so they need to learn. If you have to work with him with as many wipes as needed until he gets it right. Once the wipe comes out clean he'll be so proud of himself. Before you know it, he'll be doing it on his own ther right way.

Get him flushable wipes, the little ones can then do a pretty good job of cleaning themselves up with them. Good lucK!

How about those kiddie wet wipes to train with, and then converting to TP later on? I think Kandoo makes them for kids.

Let him do it first then you finish up. Tell him that until he learns to do it right, you have to help him out. When you're done, use a baby wipe to make him feel fresh. Don't forget, men are not always the best "WIPERS".

Flushable wipes are a great help. They are thicker and fall apart less easily, and they are less harsh on sensitive bottoms. They also feel more like diaper wipes.
