I have helped all of my children wipe until they are 4-4 1/2. ATXMOM, I would recommend letting him use the flushables first. Doesn't seem to save you much money by not using them if he is wasting that much toilet paper anyway! I buy our flushable wipes when they are on sale and clean the store out! I think I bought 8 packages the last time Walgreens had a good sale on them. The only child I let use them currently is my FD because she wasn't doing a good job keeping her privates clean. My 4 1/2 year old BS only recently graduated from the flushable wipes! They don't get to use the flushable wipes unless they are wiping themselves. My 2 1/2 yo FS has started asking to do it himself so he can use them!

Have him do it once or twice then have him tell you when he's done...check and do it yourself if he didn't get it good.

We always wipe our 4 yr old.

I help my 4 year old - instead of flushable wipes I put a bit of liquid soap on the tissue paper, sometimes a little water also. Heck I do this for myself too
