Ideas for Potty Training
Posted May 28th, 2010 by adminThere is a wrong way and a right way to potty train your toddler, did you know this? Believe it or not there is. Parents can always use some helpful hints and some ideas at this time their child’s life; I know that I could have.
The most important thing to do when you potty train your toddler is to encourage, encourage, and encourage. Remain focused and stay positive never react too much on the negative. This is similar to bathroom training. You need to first get your toddler ready by getting your toddler used to the bathroom. When they get close encourage then by being truly positive or some parents use a sticker chart. Keep in mind to never over react to accidents, there will be some for sure. If you happen to overreact about any accidents while trying to potty train you could make the whole process drag on longer then you would like.
When you go to the bathroom take your toddler with you, they like to do as you do. If your toddler sees what you do when you go to the potty they will be more at ease when they try. Use a teddy bear or a doll and pretend that they are using the potty, some toddlers will understand from this. Which is sometimes similar to toilet training. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.
When you decide to potty train your toddler keep in mind that it needs to be done in a stress free enviroment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner. If your toddler does not potty train right away, they may not be ready. Wait a few more weeks of this happens then try it again. Unlike diapers sometimes. Never be negative when potty training your toddler, they will pick up on it sooner or later.
