Toileting Practices Policy


Aim: 
To work in conjunction with parents to achieve the best possible outcome for children. To assist children to progress naturally through the appropriate developmental stages from the nappy to socially acceptable independence and the wearing of underpants.
 
Explanation:  
Toilet training is an important developmental milestone for children and parents alike. It is a small but significant step in the child becoming increasingly independent.
 
Implementation:
 - Any attempts to toilet train children should be undertaken after discussion with parents, and by following the routines parents have set in place.
- Choose an appropriate time to commence (i.e. not at the beginning of a family holiday, or the arrival of a new sibling).
- Educators to be alert to children’s signals when the need for toileting is imminent.
- A potty or toilet is to be used depending on which the child prefers.
- Toileting should stay relaxed as confrontation will bring child resistance.
- Parents should be asked to provide adequate clean underpants as many accidents may occur.
- At no time should a child be punished for accidents.
- Praise should be given whether the attempt at using the potty/toilet are successful or not. (e.g. stamps, stickers, verbal)
- Consistency and persistence are a major part of the process.
- In the case of an accident, staff wear clean gloves and take soiled items and rinse them in the sluice or wet items and rinse them in the laundry tub before putting them in a labelled and knotted plastic bag that is then placed in labelled buckets in the nappy change rooms for parents to collect in the afternoon. A large ‘Please see staff’ tag is to be placed on child’s bag. Communication in the Message Folder and/or notification on Xplor App.
​- Supervise all children while they sit on the toilet and in toileting area.
