Parenting Potty Training
What is the best advice you would give to a Potty Training Parent?
Please give details about relevent experience with method, etc.
As a mother and the head teacher of a toddler class at a large daycare, I’d like to think that I have some experience with this. First of all, never try to force the child to use the “potty”. As most parents know, trying to make your child do something only makes them NOT want to do it even more. Watch for signs that they are ready….telling you when they need a daiper change, showing interest in a “potty”, etc. Buy a potty chair so that it’s not as difficult, or scary(But Mom, I’ll fall in and it will eat me!) for a toddler. Try to let them spend time with other children their age that are already potty trained and make small comments about how they use the “big boy/girl” potty. Praise them for trying to use the potty and reward them when they actually do use the potty. You don’t have to give them presents or candy. You can give them some extra “mommy time”, read them their favorite book, or play that game with them that they’ve been bugging you about. Basically, make a big deal about it when they actually go peepee in the potty. Show them the neat underwear they could wear when they use the potty. (this one really worked on my son when he found that he could wear batman underwear instead “baby daiper”). Other then that, just be patient. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to be comfortable with it. I have a 4 year old in my daycare class that still is completely content with wearing daipers. Good luck and happy training!
