1 roll of toilet paper in 1 day!!

My son was the same. My daughter was never that bad, but my son blocked the toilet quite a few times with too much paper. I can remember changing the roll and then it was empty again after he had been in there. He is still hopeless at it too. He is no where near as bad as he was but he still over uses the stuff! He is a slow learner except when it comes to computer games. Then he picks things up incredibly fast!

My oldest is 10 and even he sometimes uses too much toilet paper when he goes. My 3 year old has the problem of not using enough and making a mess that way. I have a package of flushable wipes in the bathroom for all of us to use, but most of the time I help my daughter out when it comes to the wiping when she has poo'd. She can manage the other times.

I think young kids try to manage in an independent way so they are still learning. An adult knows to only use a few bits of toilet paper. However a small child likes the way the toilet roll turns. It is exciting for a young child and before she knows it lots of toilet paper is out. She uses some of the toilet paper for her needs and she almost blocks the toilet because of all the toilet paper when it is flushed. I have a three year old son. He will always wear diapers because he needs catheter care. Good luck with toilet training your daughter.

Squash the rolls before you put them on the holder - that way they don't whizz around so freely and it's harder to unwind a large amount. Perhaps it's just a thing that she is doing "because she can" she's learned something new and is determined to do it well.

I think because it is a new thing to her that she has some kind of independance. I had the same trouble with my eldest, and I am sure the same will happen with my youngest when he reaches that point. I think they just find it facinating. One thing I ended up doing was to buy the Kandoo wipes which are specially designed for kids that are learning toilet training, they were fantastic for my son, and I am hoping that they will be just as good again this time round.
