Choose your toilet words (poster)

• Words are important for young children. By consistently using the same words, your child will learn to better understand what’s happening. This will also help them later on to say when they need to go to the bathroom.
• Decide together which words you want to use for peeing, pooping, and the toilet. Use the language that works best for you.
• For example, some families say: pee, poop, and toilet.
  Other families use words like pee-pee, little poop, or poopy.
• Any words are fine, as long as you're comfortable with them.
• The most important thing is that you always use the same words. That makes it clear for your child.

Hang up the poster

• The Ready for Potty comes with a poster featuring toilet-related words. It includes various pictures to use. For example, you can hang the poster near the toilet or in the living room.
• Take a look at them together and choose the words that best suit you.
• When do you use those words? For example, when changing a diaper or when you or someone else goes to the bathroom.
• This way, your child hears the words often and learns what they mean step by step.
