Most boys will be able to retract their foreskins by the time they are 5 years old, yet others will not be able to until the teen years. As a boy becomes more aware of his body, he will most likely discover how to retract his own foreskin. But foreskin retraction should never be forced.

Even if you are bathing your child ask them to take the soap and guide them to wash their private parts. I use Dettol Skin Care bar soap. Ask them to take the soap and work up lather. Then clean the bum and public area and finally wash with water.
