Toilet training is an important new skill for children to learn. Helen Stroudley is an early years consultant and she has some top tips on how you can get your child toilet trained before they start primary school.

Tips:

1. Simple clothing, like elasticated waistbands, can help.

2. Encourage independent dressing - they will get better with practice.

3. Encourage hand washing as a habit.

4. Regular drinks will help them and their bladder capacity.

5. Talk to the professionals - teachers or health visitors can offer good advice.
