Parent tips

Explore the Toilet Time Book: Girls with your child to help them learn the important steps in using the toilet independently.

Exploring the Toilet Time Board Book: Girls

• As you read each page with your child, invite her to tell you in her own words what the page is about. Ask questions as you go, such as Why do you think the girl washed her hands when she finished? to help your child understand the toileting process.
• Practise some of the basic skills from the book with your child, such as pulling underwear down and up to build confidence.

Exploring some more!

• Talk with your child about what she will say when she needs to go to the toilet and initially schedule some regular toilet times to minimise the risk of accidents.
• Take time to teach your child how to wash her hands properly. Show her how to wet her hands first and then to count slowly to 20, once soap has been added. Talk about why you need to make sure you wash every part of your hands, including between your fingers.
• Make a poster together and put it in the bathroom to prompt your child to follow the steps in order.
