Toilet Training - An AFC Parent Workshop
This workshop is intended to help you learn a toilet training protocol designed to make the greatest improvements in your family’s life. Toilet training is a rite of passage that parents, caregivers, and children typically pass through when youngsters are between the ages of 18 months and 3 ½ years. Managing a child’s toileting doesn’t get easier with their age. The longer you delay toilet training, the longer it will take to achieve continence, and the longer the individual will depend upon caregivers for toileting needs.
