Toilet training:
Children
go through stages on the road from nappies to toilets.
So when it comes to toilet training your toddler
it helps to know what lies ahead so that you don’t
have unreasonable expectations for the toddler or
yourself.
A
range of resources are available to assist parents
and carer’s through what can be a tricky
transition. However, when considering toilet training
your child remember:
| |
 |
Children
need to first recognise the difference between
the feeling of wet and dry before they can
be bladder trained. |
| |
|
The
first step towards performing is for children
to learn to sit on the toilet. |
| |
|
Children
must be able to produce some dry nappies at
night before you can expect a dry bed. |
| |
|
Relaxed
little children find toileting easier. |
Talk
to your childcare professional for where to find
more information about toilet training.
