Toileting skills begin to emerge at 36-48 months. This is the age range when children typically start showing signs of readiness for potty training, such as being able to communicate their needs, understanding the concept of using the toilet, and having enough physical control to hold urine and bowel movements. By this age, children are usually able to start learning and practicing toileting skills with the guidance and support of their caregivers.Rate this question:

Once you have determined that your child is ready to start toilet training, you should _________ by recording the frequency of when your child soils their diaper or has accidents.
- A.
Establish a baseline
- B.
Assess their readiness
- C.
Begin charting their progress
- D.
Evaluate their physiological needs
Correct Answer
A. Establish a baselineExplanation
Toilet training requires understanding your child's bathroom habits. By establishing a baseline, you can record the frequency of when your child soils their diaper or has accidents. This will help you understand their current bathroom routine and identify patterns. Once you have this information, you can then proceed to assess their readiness for toilet training and begin charting their progress. Evaluating their physiological needs is also important, but it is not the immediate step to take in this situation.Rate this question:

Which of the following would be an effective reinforcer when your child is toilet training?
- A.
They get a small toy, sticker or stamp after each time they use the toilet
- B.
You tell them you will bake them cookies at the end of the week
- C.
They get ice cream for dessert after a day of no accidents
- D.
You put a check mark on their toilet training chart on the wall
Correct Answer
A. They get a small toy, sticker or stamp after each time they use the toiletExplanation
Providing a small toy, sticker, or stamp after each time the child uses the toilet would be an effective reinforcer during toilet training. This type of immediate reward helps to reinforce the desired behavior and encourages the child to continue using the toilet. The small toy, sticker, or stamp serves as a tangible and visual reminder of their success, providing a sense of accomplishment and motivation to repeat the behavior. This method also allows for frequent reinforcement, which is important in shaping and maintaining the desired behavior during the toilet training process.Rate this question:

Which of the following would probably NOT lead to success in ending bedwetting?
- A.
Telling the child they cannot sleep on the bed until their nighttime accidents have stopped
- B.
Limiting drinks for 1 -2 hours before bed
- C.
Waking the child up in the middle of the night to use the toilet
- D.
Giving the child a reward after they have remained dry throughout the night
Correct Answer
A. Telling the child they cannot sleep on the bed until their nighttime accidents have stoppedExplanation
Telling the child they cannot sleep on the bed until their nighttime accidents have stopped is not likely to lead to success in ending bedwetting because it can create anxiety and stress for the child, which can actually worsen the problem. Bedwetting is often involuntary and can be caused by various factors such as deep sleep patterns or certain medical conditions. Punishing or restricting the child's sleeping arrangements may not address the underlying causes of bedwetting and can negatively impact their emotional well-being.Rate this question:

If the child has been doing well with toileting, then starts having accidents, which of the following is NOT recommended to get the child back on track for success?
- A.
Establish a new baseline of when accidents occur.
- B.
Increase your frequency of reminding the child to use the toilet.
- C.
Assess whether or not the child is still motivated by their reward for using the toilet.
- D.
Have the child sit on the toilet for longer periods of time
Correct Answer
D. Have the child sit on the toilet for longer periods of timeExplanation
Having the child sit on the toilet for longer periods of time is not recommended to get the child back on track for success. This suggestion does not address the underlying issue of the child starting to have accidents. It may even lead to negative associations with using the toilet if the child is forced to sit for extended periods of time. Instead, it is important to establish a new baseline of when accidents occur, increase reminders, and assess the child's motivation for using the toilet.Rate this question:

When starting a toileting schedule, it is important to establish and follow a schedule for giving the child something to drink.
- A.

Establishing and following a schedule for giving the child something to drink is important when starting a toileting schedule because it helps in regulating the child's fluid intake and subsequently their bowel movements. By following a consistent schedule, the child's body can develop a routine and become more predictable in terms of when they need to use the toilet. This can aid in potty training and prevent accidents.Rate this question:

When children are first learning to use the toilet, you should only give a reward for using the toilet after they have re-dressed and washed their hands.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
It is not necessary to give a reward for using the toilet only after children have re-dressed and washed their hands. Rewards can be given immediately after they successfully use the toilet as a way to reinforce and encourage this behavior. Delaying the reward until after re-dressing and handwashing may not be effective in reinforcing the desired behavior.Rate this question:
