Potty Training Basics - 3 Tips You Can Use Now
I have had the same potty training issues as you are having. I have compiled a few simple techniques that helped me get through it.
1. Introduce potty training as early as is reasonable. A reasonable start time for potty training means different things for different people. There are signs that your child might be ready to be introduced to the potty chair. Your child may take more of an interest in the washroom. She certainly stays dry for more than two hours, that indicates that she is holding it for a period of time and that is a good sign.
2. Always be positive and patient when potty training. Try to remember that even if it seems like an unachievable goal, your child will not be wetting himself when he is 12 so just know that it will eventually work itself out. I know that sounds unreasonable but you must remain positive you must demonstrate a positive temperament. However, you just want it to be sooner rather than later. I have made some mistakes, like telling my son that he is "not a big boy" unless he goes potty. I deeply regret some of the things negative things that I might have said in anger. Do not put yourself in my position. Your son or daughter is the most treasured and beautiful aspect of your life, treat them that way.
3. Act as a potty training team. It is not you versus your child. Both parents, the child, even siblings and grandparents are part of the team when it comes to potty training. There are a number of gimmicks you can try such as hitting the cheerios or making the star wet, even a simple potty training chart. But it really does not matter as long as whatever you do is consistent and fun. Most importantly, there has to be a reward for success rather than a penalty for failure. This reward is preferably not a food treat (childhood obesity is a whole other issue) but rather a sticker or a star. For a major success such as going dry all week, you could have a bag of dollar store toys and let the child select one.
Potty training is easier and more fun than you realize. And it can be much quicker than you think. If you want to get it over with in a few days then please visit http://www.pottytrainingchild.blogspot.com
