“Through this course, I learned that toilet training is not one skill - it involves several skills which we can break down to help the child achieve each small step before being successful in the whole process. It takes time for the child to learn and it can start even from birth. Setting up and following a natural rhythm and routine is recommended. No reward or punishment. Treat it neutrally, or something obviously as other living skills to help the child to understand that it is naturally to know how to take care himself, to help the child become aware of his body, his biological food production process and also his ability to read his own body sign. ”
