Teacher goes viral for teaching children how to wipe their bums using a balloon

I never would have thought of this.

Trying to convince a toddler to use a potty or toilet is a challenge in itself but then we get to other aspects like teaching them to wipe. Messy doesn't even come close to describing the process. One teacher came up with an ingenious way of teaching her students how to wipe and she managed to do it with nothing gross involved. The teacher came be seen in a video showing her students how to wipe their own bums and all she uses are two balloons. It's so simple but something I never would have thought of doing until I saw this video. I wasn't the only one who thought this was a great idea as it caught the attention of thousands on Twitter;

"It’s a good way to show parents how to teach this at home a lot easier." "Excellent idea and a great demonstration."

By tying two balloons to the back of a chair to simulate a bum you can demonstrate how it's all done in a neat and tidy way. I'm currently in the process of trying to potty train my toddler and so far haven't been too successful. Still I know that we'll get there eventually and when we do I'll definitely be breaking out this hack when it comes to making her a more independent toilet user. Probably one of the few times we will get to do anything parenting wise in a neat and tidy way so I'm really grateful to this teacher.
