| Tips on Potty Training |
| Dealing with Potty Training Problems can be frustrating for many parents and child care workers. However, it does not have to be that way. You have to remember that the toddler is learning a new skill and like all physical skills, it takes practice to get it right. A potty training accident only becomes a potty training problem when a caregiver makes it one. The toddler usually does not care. - Maybe that is your problem!
Here are some tips for dealing with Training problems:
Tips on Potty Training
1. Keep a Positive attitude.
Know that eventually your toddler will be potty trained and there will be hardly any more accidents.
1. Accept that things are just the way they are supposed to be.
A potty accident is not the end of the world. They may be inconvenient, but they are what toddlers do. Don't make a problem where there is not one.
3. Imagine what it will be like when you are diaper free!
Get a clear image in your mind of what you want to accomplish. Are you afraid of letting your child grow up? If so, let it go. Share your vision with your child. Play make believe stories with stuffed animals that go tot the potty at the correct time. Have fun with this time.
4. Keep that positive attitude!
Don't dwell on mistakes, but look to the successes. Don't chart the failures; forget them. Soon your child will be experiencing a wonderful new way of dealing with all the poop in life. Make this an easy time.

Last night I played a DVD called "Potty Power" I got from the Library for my 2 1/2 year old twin boys. When it was over, my one son, Michael, was saying that he had to go poopy!! I tried to get him to use the potty chair but he wanted to use the big boy toilet. I took him upstairs and put his potty seat on the toilet and he sat on it until he did a little poopy. When I wiped him up he ran to his daddy and said "Daddy, I gots Potty Power!!" My other son, CJ, wanted no parts of it!! Well, one is better than none I guess.
Ok I just have to brag here.......(bear with me here)
On Easter Michael walked up to his dad and said he had to go poopy and his dad took him into the bathroom and he went to the potty for the VERY FIRST TIME. After he was done I scooped him up, danced around the house with him in my arms singing "Poopy on the potty, a poopy on the potty." Within a few minutes, Michael was laughing and singing along with me. He just loved the attention. CJ tried to go and we danced and sang with him for a great effort!!
They both just feed off of all the extra attention.
Positivity goes a long way with kids. |
