potty training

Physical Education

• The child has developed fine motor skills by learning to undress and dress independently when using the potty.
• Gross motor skills have been enhanced through the child's ability to walk to and from the bathroom and sit down on the potty seat.
• The child has improved coordination and balance by learning to sit still on the potty without falling off.
• The activity promotes body awareness as the child learns to recognize the sensations of needing to go to the bathroom.

Encourage continued development by incorporating physical activity into potty training. For example, create a reward system where the child can earn extra playtime or specific physical activities for successful bathroom trips. This can motivate them to stay consistent and reinforce the importance of using the potty.
