Twice we have been to the park this week and 2/3 mindees pipe out that they need the toilet. They are all girls.

Now I always encourage children to use the toilet before we go out, but only one really sees the need to try and have a go before we go out.

Notwithstanding, if you need to go, well you need to go. I had stopped bringing the portable potty out with us (LOs are 3 and 4 and been trained 6 months +), so it is either the toilet cabin at 20p a time (and they never want to go at the same time), or in the bush! (and how do you help girls to do it this way without it going all over your hands, shoes or down their clothes :panic: )

So what do you do with little girls when you are out at the park and nature calls ...

Well, I've got two girls of my own and when they were younger I used to lift them up with one arm under their arms and the other under their knees so they were hovering in mid air.
That way nothing usualy got wet.
I wonder if they do a 'she wee' for children? :idea:

It might just be the cold weather, I always seem to need the loo more often especially when waiting in the school playground. :o

Personally I wouldn't take no for an answer for the wee-before-we-leave.

No wee, no park, simple

If you do ever get caught short with a small girl their is a way of picking them up so they can wee without it going all over everything but it's not good for your back!

that has always been my technique too. hold at arms length as far away from your shoes!!

at that age I would say they had to try before you left and explain that you might have to come home. they should be able to hold for a short while
