As we start to come into some warmer weather in the spring, what better time to think about toilet training?! Join Monica Ferrie from Toilet Training Educators who will teach you how to create the perfect environment for your children to learn this new skill and what tools you need to make this happen. We will learn and develop skills that provide a solid foundation for evidence based toilet 'training' - it's a skill that must be learned, like eating or walking. The session will cover: • the research about toilet training including optimal time to start • toilet training as a normal skill development process • how to go about the process of toilet training • what problems might be encountered along the way and dealing with them • the difference between a toilet training issue and a continence problem • continence issues including day wetting, constipation and soiling • night wetting or bedwetting. About Monica Ferrie: Monica’s expertise lies in creating environments where people can perform at their best and ensuring they have the skills and tools to make that happen. Understanding how we learn and develop skills provides a solid foundation for evidence-based toilet ‘training’ – it’s a skill that must be learned – like eating or walking. Toilet Training Educators Resources: https://toilettrainingeducators.com.au/resource-centre/ This is a NIMBA funded event, available free for TasMBA members.  TasMBA membership is $25-$35 annually and gives you many wonderful benefits!  +++++++++++ This will be an online event via Zoom - details to follow.
