Toilet Training Programs
Toilet training is a big milestone in your child’s development, but it can be challenging for many families. At STARS Behaviour Services, we make toilet training programs for children manageable, stress-free, and successful. Our tailored program uses age-appropriate methods and compassionate support to guide your child through this process.
We understand that starting toilet training can be overwhelming for many parents, but we’re here to help you determine when your child is ready to sit on the potty on their own. Whether it’s encouraging your child to pee or manage a bowel movement, we provide the behavioural approach to toilet training and guidance you need. Our evidence-based strategies make the transition from diapers to using the toilet seat a smooth process.
As your child moves from nappy changes to using the toilet, we’ll be there every step of the way. Encourage your child to take this next step, and trust that "little accidents" are a natural part of the learning process. With our support, your child will confidently master going to the toilet on their own, at their own pace.
Why Toilet Training Support Matters
Potty training for kids can feel challenging for some parents, especially when kids face developmental challenges or resistance to the process. Every child is unique, and not all approaches work the same way. That’s why we provide customised, step-by-step guidance tailored to your child’s needs and readiness.
Our program focuses on:
- Teaching independence and self-care skills through potty training.
- Reducing anxiety or frustration during the potty training process.
- Celebrating successes to build your child’s confidence, helping them sit on the toilet with ease.
Whether you’re ready to start toilet training or need support as your child makes progress, we’re here for you. We are aware that most children may face different challenges, and our program can help start potty training when your child is ready.
Our approach includes tips for transitioning to training pants or disposable training pants, as well as providing encouragement and support until your child is fully potty trained.
Who Can Benefit from Our Program?
Our Toilet Training Support is designed for children of all abilities, including those who may face developmental challenges. This program is perfect for families who:

Seek professional support to make the process smoother and more effective, guiding your child as they become toilet trained at their own pace.
What Are Common Challenges We Help Address in Our Toilet Training Program?
Before your child can go and don the "big kid underwear" it's important to potty train them first and ensure that everything is ready to go. Potty training is not just about sitting on a potty chair and expecting that all things will go as smoothly as possible. It's common for parents to come across challenges. STARS Behaviour Services can help with issues such as:
Fear or Anxiety Around Using the Toilet: We create a supportive environment to help your child feel comfortable and confident.
Resistance to Training: We use positive reinforcement and motivational techniques to encourage participation.
Developmental Delays or Challenges: Our methods are adaptable to meet the needs of children with diverse abilities.
Inconsistent Progress: We help establish clear, consistent routines to ensure lasting success.
How Can Your Child Improve with Our Toilet Training Program?
The road to the potty chair is not an easy task but it's not impossible. Of course, you can still expect "accidents" to happen along the way, but our Toilet Training Support program helps children:
- Develop independence in using the toilet.
- Build confidence through positive reinforcement.
- Establish consistent routines for long-term success.
- Overcome challenges like fear, anxiety, or resistance.
Parents and caregivers gain tools and strategies to navigate the process with patience and clarity, ensuring the experience is as positive as possible for the whole family.
Our Approach to Toilet Training
At STARS, we believe every child is capable of achieving the milestone of being toilet trained with the right guidance and support. Here’s how our program works:
Assessment and Planning
We begin by understanding your child’s current abilities, temperament, and readiness for toilet training. We ask you to ask your child about their comfort level and willingness to begin, as child choice is an important part of the process. Based on this assessment, we create a personalised plan that fits your child’s unique needs and age.
Tailored, Age-Appropriate Methods
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques designed to meet your child’s developmental stage. Whether you're working with toddlers or older children, we provide simple instructions that are age-appropriate and adaptable to different learning pace. Research suggests that a child learns best when they feel ready, and we tailor our methods accordingly.
Step-by-Step Guidance
Toilet training is a big step, and we’re here to guide you through every step. From introducing the concept to creating a consistent routine, we provide step-by-step guidance that includes preparing your child to sit on the toilet and teaching them to recognise when they need to go. We also help you manage accidents, as we recognise that these are a natural part of the process.
Positive Reinforcement
Celebrating successes, even small ones, is key to your child’s confidence. When your child uses the toilet, we make sure to celebrate their progress. Using tools like sticker charts and small rewards, we help reinforce positive behavior, boosting their motivation to keep going. If your child has a wet accident, we help you stay calm and supportive, showing them that setbacks are natural and just part of the process.
Parent and Caregiver Support
We believe parents and caregivers need support too. You won’t have to deal with the challenges of potty training alone. We coach you on how to prepare your home and your child for toilet training, ensuring that you’re comfortable handling everything, from dirty diapers to getting your child comfortable sitting on the toilet. We also help you navigate issues like choosing the right training pants or switching from diapers to pants.
Creating a Positive Bathroom Routine
We help establish a positive bathroom routine, focusing on teaching independence and avoiding accidents. When your child is ready to use the toilet, whether at home or out and about, we ensure that they feel assured. Plus, we give you tools to make toilet training less stressful for both you and your child.
Our toilet training program is designed to meet your child’s individual needs, helping them go from wearing diapers to using the bathroom confidently to wearing underwear independently. Whether it's introducing your child to training pants, helping them sit on the toilet for the first time, or navigating through setbacks, we offer the support and encouragement your child needs to succeed. With the right guidance, your child will be on their way to being potty trained, feeling like a big kid, and ready for their next goal!
