Toileting

Developmental Milestones

Being able to use the toilet on his own is one important skill your child must have before going to school.
Your child will also need to be able to successfully use zippers and buttons.

Ideas for Learning and Growth

If your 5-year-old is still having frequent accidents, try a bathroom schedule. Set a timer for predetermined times he will sit on the toilet for 3-5 minutes. And check with your pediatrician if constipation could be part of the problem.
