Can a 'normal' 3 year old climb into a bath by themselves?

[FairyTaleinNewYork]

obviously they wouldnt be unsupervised but can a normal phycially able 3yr old climb in and out of a bath unaided?

ds1 is just 4 and has been completely dressing himself for at least 6 months. Can't do zips, buttons or laces though.

she was 3 in sept, i cant comapre her to my neice who is 3next month as my neice is advanced for her age. she was talkin in sentances at the age of 1 (me neice not my dd).

dressing- well, depends if she wants too! Pants yes, socks yes, vest would probably get it back to front/ inside out. Trousers if they were elasticated, and T-shirt same as vest. Can pull on coat, but can't do Zip. Rubbish with gloves

At 3 and 3 months probably capable of completely undressing.

dd can take off trousers, skirts and tops if they're not too tight and don't involve buttons. She's can put on and take off velcro shoes, gets left/right correct about 3/4 times. She can put on trousers, though if she gets both legs down one trouserleg she can't always work out what went wrong. She can put on mittens and hat, but not coat. She's jsut starting to get the hang of doing up buttons, but not of undoing them.

right ok. dd2 can strip off quckly, but not get dressed unassited. that needs to go down on the fgorm then as well. i'll come back with the next question i na moment.

Sorry, hadn't realised you'd moved on to dressing am really not with it today.

Yes, DS2 (nt) could make a good effort at getting self dressed and undressed at age three, but not DS1 (HFA).

dinosaur, did u do these forms for your ds1? dd2 is currently being referred for assesment as the pre-school feels she ma be somewher on the spectrum. her renewal is due anyway (she got it last time for eczema and vomiting issues, she could puke for england, thanksfully that has gotton less frequent), and i have never done these forms so intensely as this. it seems i am filling in every box this time.

right, can they wipe after a wee?

dd2 cant, she falls off or into the topilet if she tries, very funny sometimes. shouldnt laugh but it is.

My DS2 has no trouble climbing into the bath. He is 2 years 9 months.

dd can, but not very well. Definitely rubbish at wiping backside, though- it goes everywhere!

I@d say it depends more on size than age. DS2 only managed it closer to 4 but he has little legs

I got the forms and started doing them, misdee, but following much discussion with DH we decided that we would not go ahead with the claim because DS1 really isn't that bad (and he made a massive improvement in the year after he got his DX). Things were at their worst when he was soiling himself 6 or 7 times a day; once we got that cracked, life got a lot easier. My friend who has an AS son the same age doesn't really agree with my approach though; she thinks we should claim because he's entitled to it. Difficult one. Lots of other (I think almost everyone else) on SN board has successfully claimed at least some level of DLA though.

DS1 only learned to wipe his own bottom earlier this year, at the age of six. DS2(aged 4 now) can do his quite competently, can't really remember when he started though.

My ds is four and three months and has only - extremely recently been able to get in and out himself using a step stool and under supervision. Has to be entirely dressed. Cannot even reliably put on pants, shoes or coat - nada, nothing. Cannot wipe his own bottom (we don't do wiping after a wee though apparently he does this at school - standing up though, not while on the loo).
He still can't walk any decent distances reliably or without sitting down.

If I were you though I put it all down - starting to think I should get one of these forms myself!

I heard that they can't wipe their own bottoms unless they can reach over their head with one hand and touch the opposite ear Something to do with flexibility/length of arms I guess. DS2 was forced tolearn (by me) when he started school so, 4y7m

Can wipe after a wee, and is now making a much better job of wiping after a poo too.

DD is 3y8m BTW so a little bit older.

i would aloha, tho its exhausting listing what your child cant do as it goes against the parenting thing of praising what they can do. i wont mention that dd2 can do a puzzle for 6yr olds easily, or that she can climb up a stepladder with no fear to the top rung, tho she wont have the sense not to jump, and she wont be scared of being that high.

Ds cannot get dressed unaided at all, and get only get some of his clothes off.

He can wipe his winky after a wee, but not wipe his bum after a poo.

i am not worried about poo's, i know from dd1 that they cant be wiping relaibale till about school age.

ah where else can you discuss this apart from mumsnet lol.

Fairytale - I would definitely mention that she would jump off a high ladder - that really does mean constant supervision, which is totally shattering. I find the physical work with ds quite exhausting these days. I put him on the loo, take down his trousers & pants, pull them back up, help him off, help him wash his hands (he's not coordinated enough to get the soap out of the dispenser for example) and he needs prompting for every single step...aaargh. He is improving though, and as he couldn't/wouldn't climb a ladder I don't have that to worry about!

we've never done wiping after wee with ds1 a quick shake is what dh has taught him!

And - hallelujah! - he seems to be completely reliable now with the loo. I have to go with him every time, but he asks.

i dont think i can fit the ladder in, i have already written attempts to escape out the door, windows and over the fence, tho there is a big section at the back for 'additional' information, tho that may be taken up with her restrictive diet, her co-ordination, doesnt feel pain, wont 8interact with other children.

(this is misdee btw)

Yes, I thought it was you.
Is it a bit depressing to write it all out?
