2 Pathway for Toilet Training- Derby City Introduction All children should be given the opportunity to become continent. There are increasing numbers of children entering school who are not fully toilet trained. Some of this is due to changes in modern parenting practices, i.e. the use of disposal nappies, which means the child has less opportunity to be wet, therefore does nor make the connection between full bladder feeling and being wet. Also children are entering school earlier, the September after they are four, instead of raising five. There is also increasing number of children being diagnosis with a disability. Many children with disabilities can become continent with the correct support and advice. Children with communication and learning disabilities have the same physical development as children within the normal parameters for development, however struggle to become toilet train due to the cognitive understanding of the signals from the body.
