Learning to wipe your own bum!

Hi, My DS is now 4. He's been toilet trained for AGES and is happy to go settle himself and just shout me to come and wipe. He will be starting shcool at Easter and it has just occurred to me that he will need to be wiping his own bum by then. How on earth to I go about teaching him as it fills me with dread?

Sorry to be graphic but he often has what we call "tails" which are difficult enough for me to "catch"! I dread to think of him tackling it by himself but presumably it is something I need to sort out. Are other 4yr olds self wipers? I read the thread on toddler tissue with interest, I'd always thought such things expensive hype, but maybe it would help.

Any suggestions on getting started? Am I just being a bit squeemish here?

Sorry just realised this should probably be in the behaviour thread. Oops. I'll repost it.
