Sometimes I feel pressure in my tummy. That's my body telling me I need to poo 

Grr!!
Grr!!

I can try to go to the toilet, pull down my trousers and underwear, sit on the toilet  and keep sitting till I finish my poo 

I can try NEVER to touch my poop or play with the toilet water

Bad idea!

After I finish I can wipe myself with the toilet paper and make sure that my bottom is clean

When I finish I can pull up my underwear and trousers and wash my hand with soap and water

When I go to toilet and do all these things, it makes my mum and dad very proud of me

Well done!
