I am READY for the bathroom because... I notice when I need to use the bathroom. my body is safe and calm. my voice is quiet. I walk to and from the bathroom.
I am a THINKER about using the bathroom because... I know it is an appropriate time to leave the room. I know if it is an emergency or if I can wait. I clean up after myself. I flush the toilet and wash my hands.
I am CONSIDERATE when using the bathroom because... I wait for my turn. I clean up after myself. I use the "just right" amount of toilet paper, soap, and paper towels. I give others bubble space and privacy.
I am a CONTRIBUTOR when using the bathroom because... I give kind quiet reminders to others about our habits. I help clean up messes, even if I did not make them. I let an adult know if there is a mess I cannot clean. I let an adult know if anything makes me feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
