How can I encourage my child to wipe his own backside?

He is eight. Still refuses to deal with his own backside after a poo. If we say he has to and refuse to do it he will absolutely meltdown and there is a stand off that could go on for hours. So I wipe his bum 🙄

I honestly don’t know how he will ever take this job over. His poos do tend to be loose, they always have been, so obviously that doesn’t help as the times in the past we have encouraged him to wipe he’s ended up in a nasty mess. So of course now he won’t deal with it at all.

Anyone in a similar situation?

Yep. He doesn’t go. He has trained his bowel movements to coincide with home.
