Re: Q: A 7yr old boy not wiping his own butt normal? | | While it sounds odd, my question is whether it is a function of the child being unable or unwilling to do it, or a parent(s) who got into the habit and won't let go (usually with the justification that little Joey doesn't do a good enough job, which then causes rashes, which is a lot more work, so therefore it's easier for the parent to do it).
I've got a 7 year old who would have others breathe for him if he could swing it, so it wouldn't be a major surprise to me if someone of that tempermant managed to get out of wiping duty.
If you are concerned, would you consider asking the parents? Or the boy? |
