My Bathroom Routine
Learning a bathroom routine takes practice.
My Bathroom Routine gives little ones a cheerful visual sequence they can follow from beginning to end—from getting ready and sitting to try, through flushing and washing their hands.
Print it, put it somewhere easy to see, and let the routine become familiar one little step at a time.

For grown-ups
Bathroom independence develops gradually. Your child may manage some parts of the routine independently while still needing help with others.
Rather than making success depend only on whether something happens in the toilet, celebrate learning and practising the routine itself.
“Every time I practise, I'm learning.”
Help with the steps your child isn't ready to manage alone yet, particularly cleaning and wiping.
A little idea
Put the printable somewhere your child can easily see it while using the bathroom.
Instead of repeating every instruction, try pointing to the next picture:
“What's next?”
Over time, the visual sequence can do some of the reminding for you.
Occasionally ask:
“Which part of your bathroom routine can you do all by yourself?”
