Peeing in the toilet: 6 golden rules.

Going to the toilet should be a ritual for your child. Whether your child is a boy or a girl, here are 6 simple and useful rules. Rule 1 I don't wait until the last minute: I go as soon as I feel the need. Rule 2 I have to settle in properly. If I'm a boy : I stand with my feet flat and my legs apart. I open my trousers and pull them down to my ankles so that I'm comfortable. Sitting down, I make myself comfortable, with my feet flat if possible. Pull down my trousers and briefs and spread my legs wide. If I'm a girl : I pull my knickers and skirt or trousers down to my ankles so that I'm not embarrassed and my knees are wide apart. I sit comfortably on the toilet, with my feet firmly on the floor if possible. If the toilet is dirty, I don't hesitate to clean it before I sit down! Rule 3 I pee regularly, about 5 or 6 times a day. Rule 4 I must be calm and relaxed. Rule 5 I take my time. I don't push with my stomach When I start to pee, I don't force myself, I wait a little and it will come by itself; I take the time to empty my bladder completely and I don't stop before the end; I don't stop in the middle (pipi-stop), unless the doctor or physiotherapist has asked me to; I let the stream flow and let it finish without holding back, until the last drop. Rule 6 When I've finished... If I'm a girl : I remember to wipe in the right direction, from front to back. If I'm a boy : I wipe myself too. Whether I'm a girl or a boy, I wash my hands!
