Potty Training Tips
Potty training -
There are no rules about how long it will take to potty
train your child. All children are different and the
result will depend as much on your child as on the way
you handle their potty training.
So don't be upset if your toddler is not out of
nappies as quickly as your friend's toddler. It will
happen, sometimes it just takes a little longer...
Toddler potty training is best approached with a
relaxed attitude. If you appear stressed with the whole
thing, your child will think potty training is something
unpleasant. Yes it can be frustrating, but it's all part
of growing up!
Potty training girls can be easier than boys, simply
because girls learn faster as a general rule.
When to start potty training? Don't start too early,
before your child is physically or emotionally ready. 18
months onwards is quite early enough, otherwise you'll
set yourself up for failure
Potty Training - 5 Success Tips That Will Help You Toilet Train a Child
By Maureen Lawrence
Would you like to potty train your child easily and with less stress?
Let me show you how.
When you first start thinking about starting to potty train your child you may feel very daunted. Parents often put off toilet training because they assume it will be complicated and difficult. This is a misconception.
Potty training does not have to be a painful or bewildering experience for either of you if you approach it with the right mindset.
Here are five success tips that will help you as you approach potty training.
Communicate
Learning how to communicate with your young child about potty training is one of the most important things one needs to learn how to accomplish. Explain to your child in a relaxed manner what is going to happen in potty training, what is expected of her and how this is going to accomplished.
Expectations
Don't go into the whole toilet training process with negative expectations. Life gives you what you expect or are afraid of. Go into any experience, including potty training in a calm and positive manner full of expectations and that is what you will create in your life.
Be patient
Having patience is an important part of toilet training as the complete process may take from a few days to a few months to complete totally. Do not get frustrated or despondent when potty training does not happen as quickly or as easily as you expected. You will only increase the perceived problem and end up more frustrated.
Stay relaxed
It's important that you and your child stay relaxed during the whole process of toilet training. She will sense when you are anxious and this will affect her and cause her to approach potty training with apprehension. If you would like the whole process to be as painless as possible then remain calm and confident. Eliminating waste is also much easier if the person is relaxed.
Show Her
It can help if you sit your child on her potty while you use the toilet yourself. Children learn more by example than what you say so set the best example possible. Children learn from other children's actions so let her mix with those are in the process of potty training or have learnt the skill already.
Potty training can be quicker and easy than you expect if you are well prepared.
