Here’s todays toilet training question:

What do you do if your child won’t wash his/her hands?

Answer:

Some kids don’t want to take the time to wash hands or just
don’t like the process.  Try to overcome his/her discomfort
by experimenting with getting hands in water or playing with
soap.

- Try shaving cream.  Some kids love the feel of shaving
cream and have fun playing with it in their hands.  There
are a variety of foam soaps that are similar in texture to
shaving cream, once you have them interested in shaving
cream you can switch to soap.

- Have a soap box/basket and let them choose.  Load the box
up with shaped soaps, samples, and hotel give-aways.  Some
kids might love the option of picking out their own soap
and will be encouraged to wash.

- Use an anti-bacterial hand cleaner.  Just squirt on hands,
rub and the kid is good to go.

Here’s todays toilet training question:

What if the child doesn’t want to give up diapers?

Answer:

Some kids are really attached to their diapers and
don’t want to switch to underwear under any circumstances.
You can ease them out of diapers gradually.

- Start by wearing underwear under the diaper.  Let them
get used to the idea of having underwear on,
but still offer them the option of wearing the diaper
over the underwear.

- Gradually cut away small parts of the diaper.  Keep
making the holes in the diaper bigger, and bigger.  Keep
in mind that the last parts to cut away are around the
legs or waist.

- Allow them to switch to pull-ups.  Pull-ups
aren’t as likely to be so absorbent as the diapers,
some parents even let them feel when wet.  Pull-ups
also let them work on the skill of pulling
up and down pants.

Here’s todays toilet training question:

What do you do if your child plays with feces?

Answer:

Some kids love to dig in the diaper and play with the
feces.  Although this is disgusting to us, the child
thinks this is a fun, sensory toy.  Provide them with some
sensory options or make it so difficult to get into the
diapers that they don’t have the option.

- Put the child in bicycle pants.  These pants are so tight
fitting, and usually come up over the diaper, that they
will have a difficult time getting to the diaper.

- Use a reinforced belt.  Many outdoor recreation stores
offer belts made from a webbing material with a sturdy belt
closure.  Not only will this belt be hard to work under,
but also the closure will be difficult to open.

- For small children, some parents like to use cloth dog
collars.  These collars are made of a sturdy web material
and have closures that are hard for the child to open.

- Offer a belt with a variety of toys to play with attached
to the belt.  Keep rotating the toys, so it’s always
something new and intriguing.  Koosh balls, yo-yo’s, silly
putty, and cartoon toys, stretchy toys – all are good options
to keep little hands busy.

Here’s todays toilet training question:

How do you use slightly less than a roll of toilet tissue per
bathroom trip?

Answer:

Toilet paper can be a great plaything for most kids and many
pets.  Here’s what you should do:

- Take the roll off its holder.  Only tear off the amount
needed and stack it by the toilet.

- Mark the roll with an “X” to indicate where to
tear off.

- Make a counting game with the paper – “We always use X
number of squares, let’s count: one square, two square, etc.

Here’s todays toilet training question:

What’s the best way to communicate to your child that it’s
time to go to the bathroom?

Answer:

If you notice your child needs to go to the bathroom but
isn’t initiating the process him/herself, try some subtle
cues to get them headed to the bathroom.

- Hand them a “toilet cue” – an item like a toy, sticker or
picture to let them know it’s time to go.
- Use an empty wipe box as an indicator.
- Try adding some sign language to your repertoire.  The
sign for toilet is the letter “T” waved slightly.

We wish you much success in your toilet training efforts!

Here’s todays toilet training question:

What do you do if your child refuses to flush the toilet?

Answer:

Flushing the toilet may seem like a mysterious process to
some kids – where does the water go, how does it come back,
why is it so noisy?  Most kids respond well to
predictability.  Establishing a pattern to flushing will
reduce some of the fear of the process.

- Use a visual schedule to indicate when it’s appropriate
to flush.
- Use a verbal cue – “Ready, set, flush, all done, its time
to wash hands.”
- Allow them to wait at a “safe” distance while
you do the flushing.  Gradually encourage her/him to get
closer to the toilet (think baby steps.)

Here’s todays toilet training question:

How can I overcome my child’s fear of sitting on the toilet?

Answer:

Lots of autistic chidren develop a fear or discomfort of
sitting on the toilet.  This reaction can be worked through
by helping the child become familiar with the toilet without
requiring them to actually use it.

- Practice sitting them on the toilet fully clothed. 
Let the child play, read, or color while sitting on the toilet
fully clothed.  They will become gradually more comfortable.

- Allow your child to sit on your lap on the toilet.  As
you hold the child, they will be secure knowing you
are there to help them and will gradually relax.

- Practice the procedure using a doll or favorite toy.
If your child is able to observe the procedure with their
favorite item, and realize nothing bad will happen,
over time the unease will go away.

We wish you much success in your toilet training efforts!
