Toilet training

The process of toilet training can be a very challenging time for parents and once again there is no user manual to tell you and your child how to do it! In this section parents share their experiences, good and bad.

I know of many parents who have found this one of the most difficult times in their household, and in particular when you feel under pressure to get your child toilet trained before going to nursery or pre-school.

It can be a difficult time and it may push your patience to the edge, so please try and remember that all children are different and develop their life skills at various times, they are not all the same.
