\nfirst  \nsteps.  \n# Toilet TimeA Guidefor Parents\n\nSix-step guide by expert child psychologistDr Janet Hall PhD  \n/  \n# Development of Control\n\nTo be able to be toilet trained,toddlers have to learn to control the impulseto spontaneously let it all out'.Control comes with maturation of the centralnervous system.The toddler can then take voluntary control over the bladder(urine)and anal (faecal)sphincter muscles that control elimination.  \nIn order to toilet train,you and your child must be able to communicate.So,it'sa good idea to use child-friendly terms.It doesn't matter what terms you use,so long as your child understands what you’'re talking about.  \nRemember that some toddlers will seem to be responding to training andautomatically'do something'as soon as their bottom touches the toilet or potty.However,this probably isn't true toilet training.For true voluntary control todevelop,the toddler needs to be motivated to want to use the control in order to  \n# What Influences Development of Control?\n\nAge  \nAwareness of the results of wetting usually begins between 15 and 18 months.Awareness of the internalsensation of needing to do wee occurs from 20 months.By the age of three-and-a-half,most children can recognise the sensation of afull bladder and hold on until they are at a toilet.  \nNight control usually develops later than day control and doesn’t necessarilyrespond to special training.As night control develops naturally,it's important toavoid pressure on day training.  \nSome children achieve bowel control at two years,while others take longer.  \nEgo  \nAs well as developing bladder and bowel control,toddlers are developing ahealthy ego.Most of their words are egocentric-me,mine,me want,etc.Theyare push-pulled between wanting to please and wanting to be grown-up.Theopportunities to exert their ego by withholding or letting go of wee or poo inpublic is immensely empowering.  \n\n| The age when a child is toilet trained is not usually reflective of their  \u003Cbr>intelligence.Bright children can be difficult to train,but so can emotionally  \u003Cbr>or intellectually‘slower'children.   |\n| --- |\n\nEnvironment  \nFactors that affect the environment include modelling and physical easeof toileting.  \nFamily attitudes and demonstrations of positive toileting are important.It may be embarrassing for a parent to demonstrate,but children learn best fromwatching others,so overcome your inhibitions and show them how easy it is(including breath work and grunts)!  \nIf in any doubt with toilet training,WAIT!Don't toilet train your child because:  \n·it's the holidays or it's just before or after the holidays;  \n·the rest of your mothers'group is starting;  \n·your mother-in-law says it's time;or  \n·YOU were trained at that age.  \nThe best environment fortraining is when the weather iswarm,th","cbCaijkiyA9CpHBc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijkiyA9CpHBc","pdf",1021567,24,"English","# First Steps Toilet Time
