There was a very helpful thread recently on getting your child to get dressed. I took up the very excellent suggestion of having a race to get dressed in the morning, - we've done it now for 10 days - and it is working a treat. not only does my daughter dress herself, it also means that I am dressed in plenty of time in the morning - so everything is going a lot more smoothly on school days! i thought she would see straight through me - but no!


tips now on badly needed on getting them to wipe their bottoms after a no 2 please? I had to take my daughter home from school yesterday with a really bad tummy ache - she did a big poo when she got home and then was fine - had been holding it since morning break as was worried about wiping - she won't wipe herself as is worried about getting mucky hands. I have demonstrated til kingdom come and will she do it - no! She is now however receptive as she appreciates that she needs to do herself as was in so much pain from holding it - I have a feeling she will come in today desperate as is due for one -- what do I do to get her to do it herself. Is it just a case of trial and error and getting on with it? I have told her that I will never tell her off for coming home with mucky pants from school if she can't get it right.

I started off by agreeing that they would wipe first then I would finish the job. Then one day I would walk away and leave them and pretend to be busy doing something. If they called me I would say I was coming. In the end they got fed up waiting and did it themselves. Having an attractive wipe box also helped.

Kandoo wipes or similar are good. And showing them by actually guiding their hands through taking enough paper, holding it, leaning their arm round


Also thorough hand washing practice and reassuring them that germs wash off. Reminding them that parents have changed 1000s if nappies and wiped lots of bottoms and still have clean hands


Even if they don't like doing it and aren't very good at it, they will try it when they have no choice ...


Making time after breakfast for a poo at home is worthwhile though

Plus there is no need for the bum presentation that seems so prevalent, tell them to wiggle and see if it feels clean


Bum wiping should be part of potty training really, once using the toilet is established and within a week or so they can start wiping for themselves so it never becomes such an issue.


My favourite ever comment was a friends child who reliably informed me he couldn't wipe his own bum, because his arms were too short :D

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
