The school bathroom is bigger than my bathroom at home. There are more toilets and the lights are brighter. Sometimes I wait outside while a stall becomes free. New places can feel surprising, and that is part of learning.
School bathroom is big. Lights are bright. I wait for a stall. New places feel new.
I raise my hand when it is time for the bathroom. My teacher sees my hand and helps me find a good moment. My teacher knows some children need a little time to feel ready. Raising my hand is how I ask my teacher for help.

I have used toilets at school and at the park. Each time, the new bathroom felt a little more familiar. Asking for help and knowing the steps makes bathrooms easier. I am learning to use toilets in many different places.

Take a moment. You can take some slow, deep breaths when you feel ready.
