Interventions
Assisted Infant Toilet Training
The parents learn to sensitively respond to the child's routines and signals of elimination needs.The child's ability to convey the need for bowel and bladder evacuation is enhanced through responsive interaction so that a kind of assisted dryness is developed. The infant is held "squatting" over a potty or basin, while older children sit on the potty.
