Just need some advise please.
6 year old girl won't wipe her own bum. I think it's my fault as I used to wither but when she was little. For some time now I've been telling her she needs to wipe her own but as when she is at school I won't be there to wipe.
This morning I shouted at her as she wouldn't wipe her but herself. I told her she is 6 now and she should be wiping her own bum.
I feel awful as she got upset as I shouted at her. I've since apologised for shouting and gave plenty of cuddles.
Have I been too harsh and how to I encourage her to wipe her own but successfully.
I don't want her to start having long term issues with this. I've shown her how to do it.
Thank you
