Toilet Training - Step by Step
Look for signs of readiness before toilet training.
A milestone all children must face is the transition from diapers to use the bathroom and wearing underwear "big kid". Toilet training can be exhausting for the parents, but it is a necessary and important step in the development of children. With a little patience and the right tools, potty training can be a success for both parents and children. To make it as simple as possible, parents should be able to detect signs of readiness of their children and then take steps to prepare for potty training to start.
Step 1
Watch your baby to see if he's really ready to potty train. Most children are ready to learn between the ages of 2 and 3, although it is not uncommon for some children to take a little longer. Some signs of readiness include the recognition of the feeling of having to urinate or evacuate, stay dry for long periods of time, wanting to use "big kid" underwear, not like sitting in a dirty diaper, communicating that the diaper is dirty and turning it over a nap without wetting the diaper.Step 2
Read a book related to training a few potty for your baby, or watch some videos made for the child to deal with the concept of potty training. "Sesame Street", for example, offers several books and videos on the subject that is sure to grab the attention of your child. These tools can prepare your little one for potty training, explaining the process of using a visual aid.
Step 3
Play with your child. Give him a toy doll or stuffed animal and tell her that the doll has to go to the bathroom. Ask him to show you what the doll has to do first. Go through each step, ending with the doll washing hands. Playing make-believe is a great way to teach your child the steps involved in using the potty before you actually start.
Step 4
Send your child to the bathroom when one of his older brothers (or mother or father) has to use the bathroom. This demonstration of real life sometimes encourages the child to want to potty train. It is also another visual that your child can follow when it is time for him to start using the potty itself.
Step 5
Take your child to the store and let her choose her own underwear "big girl". Tell her that when she is ready to try to use the potty, she will be allowed to use the new underwear. Often, children select underwear that is decorated with his favorite cartoon character. This encourages them to start potty training so they can use these new fun clothing items.Step 6
Place a pot size child in the bathroom. A lot of kids are intimidated by a large toilet. The seat is just the right size for your child and a good place to start your journey of potty training.
