I Don’t Need Nappies Anymore
This social story is designed to help children transition from wearing nappies to using the toilet. It offers a gentle, supportive approach to help children feel confident and comfortable with this important milestone.
Perfect for parents, teachers, and caregivers, this story makes the transition easier by providing understanding and encouragement, helping children approach toilet training with confidence and a positive attitude.
What’s Inside?
Along with a 12-page social story, there’s also a shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to help engage children on each page.
Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories explain situations in simple, calm ways that are easy for kids to understand. They help children learn about social skills, expectations, and everyday situations. Social stories are especially helpful for kids on the autism spectrum or those who feel anxious when they don’t know what to expect.
How to Use This Story:
- Read it with your child in a quiet setting where you can focus together.
- Start by reading it twice with your child, then go over it regularly to reinforce the ideas.
- Try to include the story in your child’s daily routine.
- If the story is about changing a behaviour, read it when the behaviour happens (but not as a punishment).
- Give lots of praise and keep the experience positive.
To make the story last, you might consider putting it in a display book or laminating the pages for regular use.
