My niece is having problems with her hygiene. She doesn't wipe good. Any suggestions .?
Answer:
I guess I would embarass her and tell her that if she continues to not clean herself up well after a bowel movement, that her mom was going to come in and do it for her like a little baby. Maybe if mom embarasses her into her, she will try harder. Mom should also tell her about smelling bad, possible infections, etc. and see if that works.
Bidet.
have her take a shower after pooping
well how old is your niece for starters
If wet-wipes doesn't work what problem is she having exactly? Is she just lazy or does she just not wipe enough times?
Instead of wet wipes, try medicated wipes. I recommend Tucks. She may just have a tender backside. She will grow out of it, but Tucks is a good interim solution.
Get a Biffy. They are awesome.
Depends how old she is?? Typically 5 to 6 year old have mastered or started mastering this technique(Not 100% sure aboutthis though) Got this from a PRE-K teacher
maybe you should invest in one of those toilets they have at upscale resturaunts where they spray water up and clean you so you don't have to worry about wiping
well, you've ruled out "gimpy" and "fat"...
have you tried "stupid" or "lazy" yet? they seem to be your two best bets at this stage.
ick.
maybe a buffing machine!lol...sorry
How old is she ? that would have helped . Maybe mommy needs to wipe for her .
I don't know how old you niece is, but maybe you could demonstrate with a doll, and let her practice on it.
Shower
go to the doc. or ask a hygienist. sorry, i was a baby or a child a long time ago, so i wouldn't know..haha. :\
Is there a possibility the kiddo has short arms?
I have very short arms for my body, so I *HAVE* to go back to front, instead of the appropriate front to back...I can't reach going the opposite way.
Just a thought that may not have been thought of.
how old is your niece. the best thing to do is explain to her the situations that she can run into when not wiping good, for instance getting sick, smelling bad, others getting sick. the best thing to do is to actually just tell her that she has to wipe til it doesn't show on the toilet paper, and that if it still does that she is not doing a good job. tell her that it has to be clean because its bad when it isan't.
MY KIDS DID THE SAME THING. TRYING WET WHIPS IS THE BEST ANSWER. AND SHE NEEDS BE TOLD WHIP FROM FRONT TO BACK REPEATEDLY. AND WHIP MORE THAT ONE TIME. IF SHE DOES THIS GIVE HER A TREAT THEN SHE WILL ALWAYS DO IT.
somethings are best kept ,i guess you don't agree this is one of theme .
I'm sure Glad you not my aunt ,how embarrassing for the girl.
you should said shes disabled ,or overweight.
Is this a potty training child? If so she should show her where to start and stop the process. If she is older she should explain that it cause germs to spread to other parts of her body and cause infections as well as makes her able to contract diseases such as pinworms, that ought to scare her in to doing a better job cleaning her self.
She can't see it and maybe she thinks the one swipe is sufficient for the front so it should be for the back too. Maybe telling her she needs to keep it going "until the paper is clean".
My ex was 27 and his underwear still stained when he didn't wipe correctly. LOL Try to get her to wipe more than once, and remember to remind her front to back, not back to front, that causes infections, and those could hurt.
Has the child ever been taught how to wipe properly? She needs to be shown how to do it properly and supervised as she learns for herself. It's really that simple, and the problem will continue so long as no one is willing to put in the work to help the child solve the problem It's surely not as if she *wants* to wipe inefficiently.
How old is she?
My daughter is five and will yell, "Mommy I have a surprise for you." It was funny the first ten times, now it is getting old. But this has seemed to work so far. Sit down with her and tell her to wipe. Tell her to look at the toilet paper, is there anything on it? If so, fold the paper over and wipe again. Repeat until the paper towel is clean. She just doesn't want to get her hands dirty. Can you really blame her? Just keep practicing.
DEAR you and her mom is doing to have to show her how to do it right a wet wash cloth after wiping with toilet paper will do it ok it may take the both of you to help her get it right for about one month after that she will get the hang of it and do not scream at her spank her tell her any think also show her how to take a warm bath after it is all done ok take care and happy new year
take her to her doctore to get checked out
what has overweight got to do with it? How old is this child? Continue to teach her. I can't believe so many people ask this question. If using wet wipes doesn't clean her then think her mum is teaching her wrong
good luck, ask her if she wants to be the smelly kid at school?? LOL
