Halloween can be full of spooky surprises, but feeling worried about using the toilet is a fear many children face all year round.

Toilet anxiety can happen after an unpleasant experience, such as a sore poo or a broken bathroom lock, or because of too much sensory stimulation including bright lights, loud noises and strong smells. These feelings can make children anxious about going to the toilet and may lead them to hold in their wee or poo to avoid using it.

If your child finds toileting a little scary, here are some ways you can help:
🎃 Make the bathroom feel familiar, friendly and welcoming
🎃 Reduce unpleasant sights, sounds and smells where possible
🎃 Use games, music or favourite activities as a distraction
🎃 Create predictable toileting routines
🎃 Talk openly about worries and feelings around toileting
🎃 Focus on positive steps, such as handwashing and hygiene routines
🎃 Check for underlying bowel or bladder issues, including constipation, which can contribute to toileting difficulties

No tricks, just support! Visit the ERIC website for information and resources to help your child overcome toilet anxiety and build confidence: https://eric.org.uk/information/toilet-anxiety/
