Potty Training -- How To Work
Potty training is an important milestone. Get the facts about schedules, technical and handling of unavoidable accidents.
Potty training is a big step for children and parents. The secret to success? Patience - perhaps more patience than you ever imagined.
It's time?
Potty training success depends on physical and emotional preparation, not a specific age. Many children show interest in potty training for 2 years, but others may not be ready until 2 1/2 years old or even older - and there's no rush. If you start potty training too soon, it may take longer to train his son.
- Is your child ready? Ask yourself these questions:
- Your child seems interested in the potty or toilet, or wearing underwear?
- Your child can understand and follow the basic instructions?
- Does your child tell you through words, facial expressions and posture when he or she has to go?
- Your child stay dry for periods of two hours or more during the day?
- Does your child complain wet or dirty diapers?
- Your child can pull down his pants and bring them again?
- Your child can sit and get a potty chair?
If you answered yes, mainly, your child may be ready for potty training. If you answered mostly no, you may want to wait a bit - especially if your child has recently faced or is about to face a big change such as a move or the arrival of a new sibling. A child who is opposed to potty training today may be open to the idea in a few months.
No need to postpone potty training if your child has a chronic illness, but is able to use the bathroom normally. Be aware that the process may take longer, however.
Ready, set, go!
When you decide it's time to start potty training, set your child for success. Start by keeping a sense of humor and a positive attitude - and recruit all caregivers of your child to do the same. Then, follow these practical steps.
Remove the machine
Place a potty in the bathroom. You may want to try a model with a removable roof that can be placed directly on the toilet when the child is ready. Encourage your child to sit in the chair - with or without a diaper. Be sure to walk your child to rest firmly on the floor or on a stool. Help your child understand how to talk about the bathroom using simple and accurate terms. You can copy the contents of a dirty diaper on the seat to show their purpose, or let your child see family members using the bathroom.
Schedule potty breaks
If your child is interested, he or she sit on the potty or toilet without diapers for a few minutes several times a day. For boys, it is often best to master urinate sitting, and then move to get up after the formation of the intestine is complete. Read a potty training book or give your child a special toy to use while sitting on the potty or toilet. Stay with your child when he or she is in the bathroom. Even if your child simply sits there, offer praise to try - and remind your child that he or she can try again later.
Children's health and baby. Remove the machine.
Get there - fast!
When you notice signs that your child may need to use the bathroom - as squirming, squatting or holding the genital area - respond quickly. Help your child become familiar with these signs, stop what he or she is doing and go to the bathroom. Praise your child to tell you when he or she has to go. Teaching girls to gently wipe from front to back to avoid getting germs from the rectum to the vagina or bladder. When it's time to wash, let your child do the honors. Make sure your child washes their hands after using the bathroom.
Consider incentives
Some children respond to stickers or stars on a chart. For others, trips to the park or stories of extra lullabies are effective. Experiment to find what works best for your child. Strengthen the effort of your child with verbal praise, such as: "How exciting You are learning to use the toilet, as well as big kids do not!" Be positive, even if a trip to the bathroom is not successful.
Abandoning diapers
After several weeks of potty breaks of success, your child may be ready to change diapers to training pants or regular underwear. Celebrate this transition. Go on a special tour. Let your child choose "big kid" underwear. Call friends or loved ones and let your child spread the news. Once your child is wearing underwear pants or clothing of regular training, avoid overalls, belts, tights or other items that may hinder quick undressing.
Sleep
Most children master control bladder during the first day, often within about two to three months of consistent toilet training. Nap and night training can take months - or years - longer. However, using disposable training pants or plastic mattress covers when your child sleeps.
Know when to call it
If your child resists using the potty or toilet or not getting the hang of it within a few weeks, take a break. Chances are he or she is not ready. Try again in a few months.

To combat this phenomenon, suggest regular bathroom trips, such as first thing in the morning, after every meal and snack, and before entering the car or going to bed.

Keep Calm. Children have accident annoy your parents. If your child has an accident, do not add to the embarrassment by scolding or discipline your child. You might say, "You forgot this time Next time you get to the bathroom earlier.."
Be prepared. If your child has frequent accidents, absorbent underwear could be better. Keep a change of underwear and clothes by hand, especially at school or daycare.
