Help! My 7 year old still asks for help 99% of the time if he's doing a number 2. This usually involves telling him to wipe his bum, sometimes reminding him how, and checking he's clean at the end.
He's only ever been once at school and he made such a fuss that the staff assumed he had a "funny tummy".
Today he needed to go while we were out. He was taking his time and there was a queue behind us. Apparently there was a bit of tissue stuck in his crack and he couldn't work out what to do, so I had to go to his rescue. It was embarrassing especially as he's quite tall for his age.
He starts juniors in the autumn.
We really can't carry on like this but I don't know what to do, his little brother had it sussed by about 3.5.
What can I do?
