Toilet Training

Toilet training is a well known problem with FX kids.  Most full mutation kids are 8 or older before they start to grasp the concept, and some never do.

Connor is certainly fascinated by others using the toilet, but has no interest is using one himself.  After discussions with his teacher, we agree he's not ready to even start the process yet and he's now 6.

Merryn has gone through a lot of phases with toilet training, everything from interest to hysterics and back again.  I have finally been able to win her over though, and it has been with the use of a rewards chart and what is now an every growing stable of My Little Pony's.  It has created another issue around her now expecting 'treats' all the time, but I am absolutely thrilled that she has now embraced wearing undies and using a toilet/pot.
