Toilet training
Many parents can find toilet training frustrating and complex. Making the transition from using a nappy to using the toilet can certainly be a challenge, particularly if you feel it is a battle – but remember this is a skill that your child will learn in time.
Choosing the right time and approaching toilet training by being as patient and as calm as you can, will help your child to learn this new skill quickly and smoothly.
Don’t rush toilet training; it’s worth remembering that:
- By the age of three, 9 out of 10 children are dry most days
- By the age of four, most children are dry most of the time
- Some children remain wet at night for a little longer
