Pre-school children should be able to control urination/defecation independently, however, based on national household health survey 75 million of pre-school children were difficult to control their urination/defecation, so that they urinated and defecated in their pants. These conditions, if happened in prolonged time, would impair the development tasks of the children. Families determine the success of children toilet training.
