can not think of two words that arouse most concern and confusion among parents of young children that potty training. As a mother of a (yet-layer threading) boy of 26 months, I move closer to the point of apprehension toilet, and it is not helped by the fact that every piece of information that I meet contradicted a recommendation already occurred a way. Training pants? No, go diaperless. Praise him for peeing in the pot? Well, if you get too excited you will never, ever get him on a toilet again. Make him go? Yes, but careful not too fast, and whatever you do, do not "go in the prompt."
My usual solution for information overload is to drown in even more information, until I come to the other side with an understanding of nugget. That's what I did with toilet training. I have read studies with titles like "dry Trousers: a quick method of child toilet training", published in journals with names like Neurourology and urodynamics. I spoke to several developmental pediatricians who have spent their careers studying toilet training. And I discovered that although there is some good information suggesting that parents should potty train, and retailer studies where children have a more or less easy to do, the best way of Train pot was still largely unanswered. What for? A report put it this way: "toilet training for healthy children are not a subject that calls the passion between researchers."
I get cancer, hardening it, or watch the kids poop all day? I know what I would choose. But the net result is that parents are bombarded with "best" that have never been supported by many (if any) science. Worse, most of the research that does exist is difficult to decipher. (I still do not know what "floating in the fast.")
First, we will address the (relatively) easy things. How do you know when your child is ready to potty train? Review surveyed 23 potty training studies and identified 21 "signs of readiness" that parents should look Some are obvious. Your child should be able to sit up, take his pants / wide diaper follow simple controls, and understand the pot words. It also helps if she sometimes keeps a layer dry for at least 90 minutes, a sign that her bladder muscles are under the control of his brain (rather than contracting reflex, often paid by the hour as it happens in babies), and if it does not do shit in the middle of the night more. Bonus if your child shows an interest in the pot. These skills and behaviors are found at different ages depending on the child, but rarely before the age of 18 months, and, yes, it is true-boys often result later than girls Earlier is not necessarily better, either. One study found that when parents began to intensively toilet train their children before the age of 27 months, training took a little longer than it did for parents who waited until their children hit the mark 27 months. (Yes, some parents start training much, much earlier, I'll get to that below.)
As for the methods, let me start by saying that those parents are now using are much better and I mean by less emotionally scarring that these parents used generations ago. In 1932, the US government has published a book entitled Infant Care, which recommended that children do with toilet training at the age of eight months. To facilitate the process, parents were invited to insert "soap stick" rectal conditioners in the butts of their baby's poop on command in the toilet. This "coercive bowel training," as it was called, finally provoked frowns of child psychologists eyebrows, which it linked to constipation, refusal to shit on the toilet (not you?), De anxiety and anger. In response, Harvard pediatrician Berry Brazelton has developed an approach toilet training much more progressive "child-centered" in the 1950s, who tried to potty train in a way that "uses development capabilities and interests of the child." Less than sticks soap; more praise.
The approach Brazelton still forms the basis of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations toilet training (actually the co-author Brazelton; the main difference between the two is that the AAP does not recommend rewarding kids with food as Brazelton did). The technique involves four steps that go something like this:
1) Kid meets pot and is on her, fully clothed.
2) Kid is on pot with pants and diapers, which is leased, but not too good heart, some experts warn, as this can build pressure if she goes.
3) Kid is on the cleanliness after she soiled her diaper and dirty diaper is emptied into the pot; Parent says Pee shit and go into the pot.
4) Kid will diaperless for short periods of time and it is encouraged to use the potty independently.
(If, during this process, the child never resist the pot, the parent is supposed to end training immediately for one to two months and then start it again.)
The Brazelton approach is easy for doctors to support because it is simple, safe, and it makes sense. "It is compatible with views of positive approaches to parenting and our growing understanding of brain development," says Nathan Blum, a behavioral pediatrician in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who studied toilet training. But no research has been done to assess how the Brazelton method actually works. Brazelton himself examined the cards in 1170 of his patients in a 1962 document and said that most children were potty trained 28 months (remember -you This was back when the parents started toilet training much earlier), but children are not necessarily formed using his method he sometimes helped parents with other techniques, it is impossible concluded many of these findings. A second study published in 1997 evaluated 482 children who were toilet trained using the Brazelton approach and found that 88 percent of children were toilet trained at 3 ½ and 98 percent were formed by the age of 4. But the approach does not work Brazelton night research suggests that it can take five to 10 months from start to finish. And some critics point out that it is funny that Brazelton advocates the gradual formation considering he was also spokesperson for Pampers-paid Obviously, potty training is more, more children in diapers.
