While ushering your child to the bathroom, say:
“Oh, I see you need some privacy to do that. You can use toilet paper for your nose in private. When you’re all done, just come on out.”
You’re helping your child learn that people do this behavior in private.
Your child learns an independent self-help skill.
Your child is also learning how to use the words private and privacy.
