where teachers specifically take care to make them feel comfortable within school. The
children when upset, are attended by teachers who make sure that they are given

proper hygienic condition and also given healthy sacks. It has been also found that
children when upset, they should be given proper care and taken up in group plays for
further developing comfortable environment at school. If the child is facing issues and is

ideally which makes school authorities aware of all requirements among children.

dry for 2 hours or more, and get it to potty, sit on it enough time and then get off the

children in toilet training, as they should be further involved independently in learning
new practices. Supporting children with toilet training, will make them confident to
further attend their daily requirements, and also further be competent to further evolve
on toilet practices at centre. Teachers should also politely toilet train children by telling
them about wash room habits, and keeping hygienic standards checked for safety
practices. There should be also specific focus evolved on toilet training for all children, as
