@fun.mama.ot: 🚽 Is your kindergartner actually ready to wipe independently at school? Wiping takes more skills than we realize: reaching behind, rotating the trunk, shifting weight, coordinating both hands, using enough pressure, and knowing when you’re actually clean. As an OT, these are some of my favorite ways to practice the skills behind wiping without having to wait until bathroom time: ✨ Pull index cards out from underneath while sitting ✨ Remove clothespins or tape from the back of clothing ✨ Practice wiping shaving cream/foam off a ball behind them ✨ Use toilet paper to erase a dry-erase surface positioned behind them ✨ Practice the actual reaching + wiping motion while fully clothed Make it silly, keep it low-pressure, and practice BEFORE they need the skill independently at school. 📌 SAVE this for your kindergartner 📤 SEND it to a parent stressing about school bathroom independence #kindergartenreadiness #toilettraining #pediatricot #occupationaltherapy #parenthacks

you guys are making fun of this but that's why there's ADULT guys who have skid marks on their underwear. because they weren't properly taught that one wipe is not enough/ using a bidet

as someone who works with kids, please teach your children how to open bags. like, snack bags or chip bags. the amount of kids ive seen who don’t know how to open snack bags is insane

Geneuine question - how and why has the average age of being potty trained properly shifted so far upward? I'm only 33, but when I went to kindergarten, none of my peers would have been caught dead in a pull up or not being able to independently use the restroom.

two canned goods, wrap a bit of foil around them, the curves replicate you know what. put some shaving cream, and have them practice the wiping motion to clean it all out. I used to work adaptive skills and this was the program I wrote.
