Time will come that your kids will no longer wear diapers and need to learn how to use the toilet or the potty every time he or she wants to pee or poo. Toilet training is one of the most important skills that a parent should teach their children.

It isn’t just about hygiene but according to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development, toilet training is one of the ways to learn autonomy, control and knowing what is right and wrong. Through toilet training, a child learns to hold pee and poo until he or she reaches the potty or the toilet because it is the right thing to do.

Toilet training can be taught through role modeling with the help of the parents. If the child sees his or her parents using the toilet every time they pee or poo, most likely they will do the same. Do not also forget to reward your children every time they do it properly.

 How I wish to experience this very soon, but then I have to wait on the proper time. Good luck to all you first-time moms (like me).  :-))
