POTTY TRAIN YOUR KID

Your child need attention and one of the things they can't is know how to do or what to do Potty Training Requires Preparation, Patience and Praise Prepare your children for toilet training by providing them with books on the topic and the words your family uses to describe bathroom functions. Introduce children to the potty slowly. Start by setting them fully clothed on a closed toilet seat. Eventually, let them sit on the potty at times when they are likely to go -- early in the morning, after a meal or about 45 minutes after they've had a drink. Praise children for sitting on the potty -- regardless of whether they go, adds Susan Lipkins, a psychologist in Port Washington, N.Y. "Reinforce any attempt to go and sit on the potty," she says. It's also OK to use stickers, small candies or reward charts to encourage kids to use the bathroom, experts say. If your child is having difficulty making bowel movements on the potty, try placing a stool under his feet to help him push. Many parents are unsure about when to start toilet teaching or "potty training." Not all kids are ready at the same age, so it's important to watch your child for signs of readiness, such as stopping an activity for a few seconds or clutching his or her diaper. Most children begin to show these signs between 18 and 24 months, although some may be ready earlier or later than that. And boys often start later and take longer to learn to use the potty than girls. Instead of using age as a readiness indicator, look for other signs that your child may be ready to start heading for the potty, such as the ability to: follow simple instructions understand words about the toileting process control the muscles responsible for elimination express a need to go verbally keep a diaper dry for 2 hours or more get to the potty, sit on it, and then get off the potty pull down diapers, disposable training pants , or underpants show an interest in using the potty or wearing underpants Click Here!
