It is absolutely true .. that when you train your kids young.. they pick it up quick too.. and abide by it.. with no questions asked. My brat does not use tissue paper.. but towels. From young.. we buy her small towels.. that we used to clean her up.. and her hands and mouth.. and everything else.
So if she needed to clean her tears.. or wipe her mouth.. she uses a cloth towel.. and never a tissue paper. It is our way of teaching her to go green.. and saving the environment .. plus it does save us alot of money too.
