TOILET TRAINING

FEEL CONFIDENT TO TOILET TRAIN YOUR CHILD WITH HELP

FROM THE MARS CLINIC PROFESSIONALS

Are you thinking about toilet training your child?

  • Are you feeling that you child has hit the 'right'age?

  • Do you know other kids the same age who are out of nappies?

  • Is your child progressing levels in daycare, or starting kindy, and needs to be out of nappies?

  • Are you sick of the cost of disposable nappies or washing cloth nappies?

Children need help to learn how to recognise the need to go, and how to use the toilet – it’s not something that they will learn on their own. But many parents feel anxious about starting toilet training. Knowing when to start, what to do, what you’ll need and what is “normal” is difficult. There is information available – but it can be overwhelming to know what to trust. Do you seek help from other parents, grandparents, online forums, books, or do whatever the daycare does? Does a regimented 4-day program really suit all families? Did you read the blog about all the mistakes that parents make in toilet training? Will you ever be able to leave the house again without fear of having accidents wherever you go?

Wouldn't you prefer to feel prepared and confident ?

We want you to feel empowered to toilet train in a way that supports your child’s needs.

We want you to have reliable information to help you decide which approach best suits you and your child.

We want you to have help with some common problems you may encounter.

We want you to have access to alternatives, when things don’t go to plan.

Get the help you need.

You can now access our Mars Clinic expertise online to help you succeed in toilet training.

Brought to you by the Children's Continence Experts


The Mars Clinic is run by physiotherapists experienced with children’s bladder and bowel conditions, in consultation with a network of doctors and paediatric specialists. Established in 2008, we are Australia’s premier children’s continence clinic, providing investigations and diagnosis, therapy and access to leading edge technologies. Our physical clinics are based in South East Queensland.


Every day in our clinic we help kids and their families with some pretty complex continence problems – and a lot of the information and support we provide would be just as useful for parents and kids at the start of their toilet training journey. And if we can help to prevent problems arising in the first place, then that’s going to be best for kids, families and our communities. We believe that every child is different, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
