Toilet Time story and resources Item 542

This is a toilet time story pack for helping children who might be afraid or anxious about going to the toilet.

Included in the toilet time story pack:

• Front cover with space for a name and a two page story with images
• A poop feelings scale
• A urine feelings scale
• A race to the top game
• Counting puzzle
• Several mazes of varied difficulty
• Things I like about the toilet worksheet
• Things I don’t like about the toilet worksheet
• What happens when we digest food information
• Body signs of anxiety

The idea of this resource is to use the story and resources to help pupils understand that they do need to go to the toilet. There are strategies in the story for coping with this and information on body signs of anxiety. There are games to play to make the discussion of the toilet less scary and perhaps even fun!

There are some good tips on the ERIC site on toilet anxiety.
