At what age do kids usually learn to wipe themselves properly?  I have a 3 1/2
year old daughter who still doesn't do an adequate job of it.  She ends up
with yeast infections because of not wiping properly.  I try to help her as
much as possible, but I can't be there all the time.  I'm not sure whether
it's just that she isn't coordinated enough or whether she doesn't understand
what I'm asking of her.  She doesn't seem to understand that "poopies" are
dirty and stinky and might make her sick (and so on).  Does anyone have any
suggestions?
