“Look Daddy, I made corn in my poop.
My friend was sharing a recent anecdote about the trials and tribulations of his two year old. You know it’s high time to start potty training when your child is taking the diaper off and showing you his accomplishments.
Young children are capable of understanding so many concepts, corn in poop included.
When it comes to potty training, usually it the parent who is not ready to bite the bullet and embark on the consuming task of training the child to eliminate in the proper receptacle.
Here are 6 ways to start your potty training success.
1) Have a talk. Discuss the key potty issues. For example, using the potty is a normal part of life and the toliet is the special place where we go potty.
2) Model. Show your child how the potty works. Go potty, let your child flush and explain how he will be wearing underwear instead of diapers.
3) Read and View. Take time to read books, watch videos, or YouTube about going potty. Make sure you involve the whole family in the process especially siblings who are already potty trained.
4) Partner Purchases. Involve your child in the purchasing process. Take a trip to the store together to buy underwear, a potty, step stool or small seat to go on top of the big potty. This will have a significant impact on your toddler because you involved him in the process.
5) Easy dressing and undressing. Ensure that clothing can be manipulated with ease. Ditch the cute overalls and go for elastic bands.
6) Accidents and Praise. Potty training is a process and you will need to change methods of praise/rewards based on the needs of your child. Think about how you will handle accidents and praise. Map out a plan ahead of time in your mind and decide if you are going to use pull-ups, underwear or bare bottom and stay with the decision so your child has consistency and isn’t confused. Consider potty training issues when you are away from home and maintain a calm attitude when accidents occur.
7) Inform Childcare Providers. Talk to your childcare provider and let them know you rae starting the process so that the caregiver can support you in the process.
The next time your child is looking at the corn in their poop, just smile and know it’s all a part of the process.
