This my be a dumb question I should already know the answer too, but Kindergarters are expected to wipe thier own bums when they poop, right? I would think teachers would not do it for them. How many of you have incoming K dc who can do this well? My dd does, but I usually have to go behind her with a wipe. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

yes, they are expected to wipe themselves -- at dd's school, the k's went to the bathroom with a buddy, but no teacher. that said, i know very few kids who actually poop at school, so don't worry about it. [ Reply | More

I taught full day public K for 11 years and never wiped a bottom. If there was an issue the dc would go to the nurse for help (she would help or call parents for new clothes if nec) [ Reply | More

I still spot check and DC is entering K in the fall. Come fall though, he'll be on his own. FWIW he only had to poop once last year in full day preschool (9-2:30pm). [ Reply | More

If it helps most kids don't poop at school. DC wasn't very good at it until 1st grade. [ Reply | More

Mine manages fine for the most part, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't poop it school. It could change in the fall when he starts 1st grade. He was in 1/2 day kinder and almost always poops mid-afternoon. Plus he's very good at holding it if he wants to and I could totally see him doing that and waiting until he gets home. My younger one isn't yet 3 and she is 90% fine on wiping so I imagine she'll be 100% there by kinder. [ Reply | More
