Top Tips for Toilet Training

Toilet training children can sometimes be a bit of a messy business, as accidents are bound to happen. At Earlybirds we help children on a daily basis to make the next step. 

So we have put together a few tips to give you the confidence to help your child with toilet training with out too much disruption and mess. 

Site Conte

When to Start

The staring point for toilet training your child is a matter of readiness and confidence. Your child won't be physically able to control their bowels and bladder until a certain point in their growth. 

Thats why is important your child is ready and that you as a parent are happy before you start as correct timings for both of you will help make it as stress-free as possible. 


What do I need

To help get you child used to the idea of using the toilet , we would recommend getting a potty. Although some children are confident enough to use the toilet straight a way a potty is alway a good idea if you are going on a car journey (incase of emergency) and to have a back up if your toilet is in use. 


Big girl or boy pants

When buying pants for the first time its a great idea to involve your child as they are more likely to wear pants that they have chosen (and more likely to use the potty/toilet). 

Putting them in clothing that is easy to pull up and down with not too many buttons or fastenings on will also help. Children often get caught out if they are having to negotiate popper on vests and buttons on trousers. 

Signs of Readiness Checklist

  • My child dislikes the feel of wearing a wet nappy
  • My child is showing an interested in watching others use the toilet.
  • My child role-plays using the toilet or potty. 
  • My child is starting to do fewer but larger wees in their nappy.
  • My child does not poo during the night. 
  • My child tells me what they have just done in their nappy.
  • My child can sit down quietly in one position for two to five minutes. 
  • My child can sit themselves on a potty, and can stand up when they have finished. 
  • My child can follow simple instruction "go get your shoes"
  • My child can pull their own pants, trousers or pyjama bottoms up and down.
