Toilet training is one of those child developmental stages parents can find frustrating and complex. Making the transition from nappy to toilet can certainly be a challenge. Communication is important as well as choosing the right time and approaching toilet training in a calm, patient manner, then you can help your child get to grips with this new skill as quickly and smoothly as possible. Your key person will discuss with you when the best time is to start this process.
