Peeing in the toilet: The 6 golden rules.

 

Toilet training should be a ritual for your child. Whether they are a boy or a girl, we offer these 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 need to get settled in.

If I am a boy:

  • Standing with my feet flat on the ground and my legs apart, I unzip my pants and pull them down to my ankles for comfort.
  • I sit down, get comfortable, with my feet flat if possible. I lower my pants and underwear, and spread my legs wide.

If I am a girl:

  • I pull my underwear and skirt or trousers down to my ankles so I'm not bothered and my knees are wide apart. I sit comfortably on the toilet, with my feet flat on the floor if possible.
  • If the toilet is dirty, I don't hesitate to clean it before sitting down!

Rule 3

I urinate regularly, about 5 to 6 times a day.

Rule 4

I need to be calm and relaxed.

Rule 5

I'm taking my time.
  • I don't push with my stomach. To start peeing, I don't force it, I wait a little while and it will come on its own;
  • I take the time to completely empty my bladder and I don't stop until the end;
  • I don't stop halfway (pee-stop), unless the doctor or physiotherapist has asked me to;
  • I let the stream flow and let it finish without holding back, down to the last drop.

Rule 6

When I finished...

If I am a girl:

  • I'm thinking about wiping myself in the right direction, from front to back.

If I am a boy:

  • I wipe myself too.

Whether I'm a girl or a boy, I wash my hands!
