![]() Yeah, it's just at first. My 5 year old almost always remembers to turn out the light and never flushes more then once. But it's hard to explain to a 5 year old not to flush after every time cause when he goes to school he has to...so...for now I just need to get some better toilets with a macro flush.

Another option is to allow children to go bare whenever possible. This makes it easier for them to learn the mechanics of relieving themselves. It also is the BEST option for avoiding and curing rashes. Sure this does not contain spills but there are no clothes to wash after. You will have to watch them carefully, but you will quickly learn their natural signals that something is coming. Then you just have to quickly move them to a basin or toilet or towel. And, kids hate to wear clothes anyway. |
