Hey! Another question:
What if when I’m driving my child wants to do number one (or two) but I can’t pull over right away - what do I say to make her wait?
Like «hold it»?

Haha what a dilemma. Yes, we’d say hold on, hold it, hold tight, maybe even a fun saying ‘cross your legs’

"Try your best. I'm doing mine. I know it's difficult. I'll pull over for you as soon as I can."
("Mine" means "my best")

The normal phrasing of the question is:
If I’m driving and my child has/needs (not ‘wants’) to go to the bathroom, what do I say…?
‘Hold it’ is natural.

Yes, "You'll just have to hold it." Of course add something like "I know you need to and I'll pull over just as soon as I can."
