A member asked:

My little girl is 5 and won't go to toilet at all not for wee etc she is scared but nursery says she goes independent, should i believe them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk with her: What is she afraid of? Sit down and talk with her calmly. Many children are afraid of "self-flushing" toilets. Others may fear falling into toilet seat or don't like the sound of the flushing. Discuss her fears and help her find ways to overcome them. A cute trick- place a "post-it" over the sensor of a "self-flusher" so it won't flush while the child is sitting on the toilet.
