Some of the most common concerns parents have concerns and ask me for advice about are:

Toileting

Usually, children are dry during the day by the time they start school. Occasional accidents are to be expected and are nothing to worry about. 

However, if you are concerned about your child’s toileting then it’s worth sharing your concerns to give you peace of mind - perhaps your child is going to the toilet too much/too little, they have developed toileting habits that concern you or have started wetting the bed at night. Let us know in school - we may be able to support during the day by encouraging toilet breaks and drinking water, contact your GP or request a referral to the School Nursing Team.
