'''Elimination communication''' (EC) is a [[toilet training]] practice in which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address  an [[infant|infant's]] need to eliminate waste.  Caregivers try to recognize and respond to babies' bodily needs and enable them to urinate and defecate in an appropriate place (e.g. a toilet). Caregivers either use [[diaper]]s as a back-up in case of misses, avoid the use  of them altogether, or do a mixture of the two.  EC(contracted; show full)== References ==
