My DD is 4 and cant wipe herself after having a wee on the toilet but not when she's had a poo. She'll try and wipe but she tends to spread it up front, which I don't want her doing coz it can cause infection.
How can I teach her to wipe front to back?
She's ok with wet wipes but obviously they don't use them in school.
Any tips would be great. thanks.

some children dont get the hang of wiping until they are past 6 (i know this from working with kids)
my advice would be to explain each time and just keep trying, also ditch the wipes, as if she is not able to use them at nursery/school it may become very confusing.
