Training Your Kids



Is potty training your child not going as well as you anticipated? Children react differently to potty training. Some do well while others fight it. Most parents are able to tell when their children are ready to start potty training. The average age for children to start potty training is approximately two to three years old. The following are some simple methods to help make it easier for you as well as your child.

1. When a child is about two years old it is a good time to start practicing using the toilet. You can purchase a small potty chair and potty seat that will fit over your regular sized toilet seat. Start by bringing the child's potty chair into the room that your child spends most of the time when you have time to pay attention to what they're doing. During this phase of training it is a good idea to let your child play in just a shirt with his or her diaper off. By not wearing a diaper they will start to realize that it's time to urinate when it starts running down their legs.

2. When you decide to start potty training your child choose a time that you know that your families routine is less likely to be disturbed by guests and extended time away from home.

3. It's a good idea to decide upfront what words you'll use to describe body parts as well as the bodily functions. It's important that you discuss urination and bowel movements with your children matter-of-factly.

4. A fun way to get your children interested in using the potty is to use one of their favorite toys are dolls with a pretend potty. As her doll starts to be successful going to potty she can then move her up to wearing underwear.

5. Speak openly and talk with your child about why it's important to be potty trained. You can explain to them that if they stop going in their diaper that they will not have diaper rash anymore and they will be clean and dry.

6. There are many books, videos and other training aids out there to help you and your child through the process of potty training. A good time to look at these books with your children is while they're using the potty.

7. Declare “Potty Day” as the day that potty training will began. As this stay approaches remind your child over and over that it is coming.

8. You might find that your child develops a fondness for unrolling the toilet paper. If this is a problem try mashing the roll so it does not unroll so quickly.

It's important to remember that potty training your child is a process and they won't get it immediately. With a little practice they will soon be using the potty successfully. Don't give up and keep trying.
