1. 6 Things You Must Know To Potty Train Your Toddler
The Bathtub Method
This one I discovered on accident. Tell your child what a big kid they are when they do actually "use"
the potty. In fact, sometimes they aren't even willing to try at first. If you have your child in
underwear, use them daily.
Show your child proper hand washing, and always be positive. Let your child know they will receive
a surprise every time they successfully use the toilet. About twenty-five little cars later we
considered my son to be fully potty trained, having only an occasional accident at night.
It doesn't have to be a chore for either of you, so try to make it fun. Waking up after naps in a dry
diaper are also a good indication your daughter may be ready. If you have fallen in love with one of
those musical pottys then by all means buy it! I know I think they are terribly adorable but just not
my style when it comes to potty training. Learn your child's routine and what types of things he or
she finds as encouragements.
The children loved to take the trinkets out of the box and spread them around to pick one, knowing
that when they use the toilet again, they would get to pick another. I felt my heart begin to race as I
wondered if my child was really that far behind. They should be encouraged to hit the target.
The length of time between start and complete potty training can vary greatly from child to child but
I do suggest that you expect several months of potty training before you are considered finished with
this stage in parenting. If you wait until your child has developed enough to tell you, "Mom, I pooed",
be ready for a challenge. I waited until my son was three, because of one reason or another. The
typical potty dance, where a child shifts back and forth from foot to foot and holds or itches his groin
is a sure sign that a bathroom break is needed.
Lets get started. Make Diapers Work
Creative ideas to make diapers work isn't suggesting you should give up, buy more diapers, and put
off potty training your toddler. They should be encouraged to hit the target. I know some parents
will get upset when an accident happens and will then scold their child.
However, every child is different and it is vital to a successful potty training experience that the
child is ready physically and emotionally. By the time you've finished reading this article you'll
understand how to see if your little girl is ready for the potty, where her point of regression is and
how you should dress her to make her more confident to use the potty. Avoid unsupportive family
members. If your daughter actually uses her potty then PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE!! You can never
praise your daughter too much during potty training.
When the bowel movement begins to steadily occur at the same time everyday, it is a sign she is
learning to control her body functions. When the child appears afraid of the potty or toilet and does
not tell you why, counseling may be of help. Potty training is not an overnight success.
