How do you teach kids to wipe their bums?!

Any tips?

DS has been potty-trained for ages, but still gets us to wipe after a No. 2.

He'll be 5 this week and off to school at the start of term, so we need to get this nailed pretty sharp-ish.

It just seems logistically pretty tricky for small people who don't have great arm reach and balance.

Any suggestions?! Am fully on board with bribery if needed, no probs there, but it's more just getting him even able to do it in the first place.

Thanks

I had this with my twin boys - I wiped for them for ages and then one day just felt utterly fed up with it and said they had to sort it out themselves from now on. They weren't happy but I stuck to my guns and they've done it for themselves ever since. There were serious skidmarks for a few weeks...

They were about 4 at the time.
