Tips for getting a 3.5 year old to start wiping themselves?


My 3.5 year old son has been fully potty trained for almost 3 months now. He does his own pants up/down and flushes and washes his hands. I know whenever preschools open back up again and he gets enrolled, he will need to wipe himself but he refuses.He is SO freaked out by poop. I’ve had him wipe himself before and he got a tiny bit in his fingers and immediately went “EWEWEW GET IT OFF MOMMY!” And burst into tears. He used to have accidents and would always freak out and cry begging for a shower because “gross and stinky.” Sometimes a bit would fall onto the floor after he stands up from the potty and he even GAGS and says “mommy clean it!”It’s like he inherently knows poop is unhealthy and not something you should touch. He’s even freaked out by dog poop when he sees it on the ground in the city and I have to pick him up when we walk around it or he’ll have a fit. We have NEVER made a big deal about poop or changing his diapers, so idk why he’s like this. Any advice? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Y5tYZ4
