Fear of the toilet is the #1 fear kids have at school
In this short parenting monologue, the speaker highlights that the number one fear many children have at school is using the school toilet. She explains how this fear can lead kids to hold their urine, wet themselves, or avoid asking to go, which can become a persistent anxiety. To prevent this, she advises parents to take their children to public toilets before school starts and let them practice using them, especially if they are not yet fully potty‑trained. For potty‑trained children, she recommends teaching them how to ask to use the bathroom loudly so they are heard, and to familiarize them with the school’s restroom by visiting it early in the school year. She also points viewers to her bio for additional potty‑training resources, including a workshop. The overall message is that proactive preparation and clear communication can significantly reduce children’s fear of school toilets.
