Encourage your child to come into the bathroom with you. He can hand you toilet paper, and when you’re finished, he can flush the toilet.
This one left me a bit perplexed 🤔
What’s one piece of advice you would give to fellow parents?
I grew up in a place where violence towards children is the norm, and as a result, there is a lot of mental problems in society, many people grow up without learning proper negotiation skills (why negotiate, if you can use force, bullying, or be passive aggressive to get what you want?). Victims perpetuate and even praise the same violent behaviours. I always advise to refrain from using threats or violence (verbal and physical) towards children, and treat them with the utmost respect. I know its easier said than done, especially when children behave in a way we don't approve, but how we as parents react in these situation is a choice we make...

I think the idea is to get the child used to being in the washroom and seeing that adults poop into the toilet bowl.
I grew up being caned because my parents belonged to the spare the rod n spoil the child generation. I still remember feeling nonchalant when my primary school classmates pointed at my cane marks haha. Respectful parenting is trending in my country these days, and I think most of us try to use positive discipline on our children instead. I wouldn’t even know where to buy a cane.
