Young children have lots to learn about cleaning up after themselves, and sometimes it can be tricky to get the important lessons across.
Luckily, a mum has shared a "genius" tip for teaching tots to wipe after going to the toilet - leaving parents in stitches in the process.
Sharing her advice on TikTok @ onlychassidy revealed she teaches her son by smearing peanut butter over apples.
Then, he can practice clearing up the gooey brown stuff in a hygienic way.
To make it extra realistic, she even holds the fruit behind him, so it is like he is reaching for his bottom.
