Helpful Hints For Potty Toilet Training
One of the most difficult things parents and their toddlers must go through is the process of potty toilet training. Of course, some children may learn quickly and potty training could be a breeze. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes, potty training can be accompanied by tantrums and tears on the part of the child and stress or worry on the part of the adult. Usually this is because the toddler is not at the right stage of readiness to begin training, and you need to give them more time.
Don't give in to old wives' tales or peer pressure when it comes to potty training. Some people will tell you that your child must be trained by a certain age or through a certain method. That is simply not true because all kids are different. There are some mothers who gloat about how early their child was potty trained, don't let that bother you. The age to consider training is between 18 and 36 months of age but these are only guidelines. Your child may train earlier or later than this.
One way to make training easier is to let your child pick out their own potty training toilet. This helps motivate them to use it. There are all different kinds of seats out there. Some sit on the floor, while others are placed on top of the adult toilet seat to make it child-sized. You will find seats that have music, lights, cartoon characters and other themes children love. There are also simple, utilitarian training potties. Also, let your child choose their own underwear. Even if they're not out of training pants, this can be a good incentive for them.
Allowing toddlers to observe a parent of the same gender use the facilities may also help with potty toilet training. After all, children learn by watching their parents. Another strategy is to provide your child with a favorite book while seated on the potty or use a potty training chart to track progress. One of the oldest tricks in the book for training boys is to float Cheerios in the toilet, then encourage your son to 'hit' them. Of course this is for the later stage of training, most boys first learn sitting down. The most important thing of all is to approach potty training gently and do not pressure your child.
