Many parents ask: What do I do if my child has an accident? I want you to know, stay calm, and allow your child to have accidents. When your child is ready not to have accidents, they won't be having them. Very often, children will have accidents because they are busy playing with a toy, don't want to stop what they are doing, and forget to use the toilet. If this does occur, tell them to go change their clothes. They are very competent. They can put the clothes into the washing machine, and you can leave it open so they can see what is happening. Within a few days, your child will not be having accidents anymore. Smile through it all. Make sure to bring a change of clothes everywhere you go. Remember to also bring it to the nursery school.
