When and how to help your child learn to use the potty depends on how your child is ready and your own beliefs and values on toilet training. There is no one "right" way or "right" age to learn. Here are some questions and thoughts to keep in mind as you help your child learn to use the toilet.
Signs that children are ready for potty training
Most children develop control of their bladder and bowel 18 months. This skill is necessary for children to be physically able to use the toilet. How to prepare a child is emotionally to start learning to use the potty depends on each child. Some children are ready for 18 months, and others are ready to 3. Although every child is different, about 22 percent of children are on layers 2 1/2, and 88 percent of children are on layers 3 1/2.
Your child is ready to learn to use the toilet when he or she:
Stays dry for at least 2 hours at a time, or after a nap
Recognizes that it is urinating or having a bowel movement. For example, your child could go to another room or under the table when she has a bowel movement. This is important if your child does not realize she is having a bowel movement, it will not be successful with potty training.
Is the development of physical skills that are essential to the formation of pot-the ability to walk, to take a top-down pants, and to get on / off the pot (with a little help).
Copy the behavior of the toilet of a parent.
Can follow simple instructions.
More importantly, your child wants to use the potty. He can tell you he wants to wear a slip "big boy" or learn to go potty "as does Dad." It may feel uncomfortable in a dirty diaper and ask to be changed, or ask to use the toilet itself.
When not to start potty training
There are some problems that can sometimes get in the way of potty training success. For example, when children spend a significant change or several changes at once (see list below), it might be smart to hold off on an adventure in potty training. During these times, children often feel overwhelmed and sometimes lose skills they have already learned or were making progress on, like potty training. common situations that can cause stress and are generally not a good time to start training include:
An upcoming or recent family move.
New beginning or change custody arrangements existing children.
cradle of the passage in bed
While waiting for or have recently had a new baby.
A serious illness, a recent death or other family crisis.
If your child is in the middle of potty training during a stressful time and seems to have more accidents than usual, that this is normal. Your child needs all your patience and support at this time. She will return to its previous level of potty training, once things got back to normal.
From potty training
It may be helpful to think potty training as a process in which you and your child have your own "job" to do.
It is the responsibility of parents to create a supportive learning environment. This means that you:
Recognize that your child is in control of his body
Let your child decide whether to use the potty or a diaper / pull-up daily
Teach your child the words for body parts, urine and stool
Give your child the tools they need to succeed in the toilet (as a potty seat potty, stool, etc.)
Expect and manage accidents pot without anger
Avoid punishment as too much praise around the use of toilets. (This can make children feel bad when they are not successful.)
It is the responsibility of your child:
Deciding to use the bathroom or a diaper / pull-up
Learn the body signals when it needs to use the toilet
Use the toilet at their own pace
Finding a potty training method that works for your family is the key. No matter how you do, remember this is a learning process that takes time, with many accidents on the road. Being patient is the best way you can help your child as she learns.
Keep in mind that children with special needs can take longer to learn to use the potty. They may also need special equipment, and a lot of help and support from you. If you need help with potty training your child, talk to the health care provider or community service coordinator for your child.
What to avoid when potty training my child
Toddlers are trying to gain some control over their world. They use their, thinking and growing physical language skills to gain power over themselves, their bodies and their environment. This natural and healthy desire for control can lead to power struggles, the children quickly included as a way to feel in charge is refusing to do something that they know that their mother wants them to do . And for better or worse, learning to use the potty is up there on the list of what they really, really, really want their children to do and children are quick to seize on this to the most parents. (Imagine mom and applause dad and jumping up and down when they see first stool of their child on the pot.) Toilet training is particularly suitable for power struggles, because it is so attached with toddlers want control over their own bodies.
It is therefore important to address the issue of toilet training factly and without much emotion. Think of it as another skill you are helping your child learn. If you show anger or disappointment when things do not go well, or the immense joy when it is, it allows your child that this is something you want to hurt him. Refusing to become a very powerful way for your child to feel in control. The more emotional you are, the more it shows your child how important it is for you he uses the potty.
It is also very important not to force your child to use the potty because it can cause intense power struggles. These struggles can sometimes lead to children trying to regain control of their bodies by holding back urine or stool. This can create physical problems, such as constipation. So if you start to see the power struggles develop on potty training, it might help to take the pressure. Stop talking about potty training or doing anything for a while, until your child shows signs of willingness and the new interest.
To use rewards for potty training or not
Many parents wonder offer rewards for using the pot-sticker, extra sweet, or a small toy every time their child is successful on the toilet. Although these types of rewards can encourage progress in the short term, the problem is that for some children, the pressure of "success" in the form of reward creates anxiety or a sense of failure when they have a ( quite normal and even expected) pot accident. The other risk is that the use of rewards for the toilet can lead children to expect rewards for doing almost everything-end of a meal, brushing teeth, etc. When parents are matter-of-fact about potty training and do not make a big deal about it, children are more likely to follow their own internal desire to achieve this milestone.
When preschoolers are not yet interested in potty training
Reach out to your child's health care provider with any questions or concerns about potty training. Sometimes children have physical problems that make potty training more difficult, so a check-up is always a good idea. You can also sit down with an expert in child development that can help you determine what are the challenges around potty training perhaps for your child in particular, and help you identify
