Starting Reception - can't wipe own bottom

[MrsHathaway]

DC1 started school having ticked all the boxes for what was required such as being able to dress himself and recognise his own name etc etc etc.

DC2 ticks every box but one - he cannot wipe after a poo. He pt at 2.4 and was dry at night by 3 but this has been a sticking point.

We realised recently that he can't quite reach round to do it. We knew his arms were too short to reach round the side, but he can't reach through his legs either. He has always been around the 50th centile, sometimes dipping towards 25th for weight and 75th for height. He has otherwise no problems with coordination - plays football well and can write his name and copy other words and drawings.

Obviously there's a couple of months to go yet but I wonder if anyone has any insights to offer.

Thanks in advance.
