Potty training girls isn’t any more difficult that potty training boys. Of course, potty training any child can have its difficult moments.
You’re at wits end, you’re trying to potty train your little girl, but it’s proving harder than you ever imagined! Who knew something so simple could be so stressful, tear-filled, and demoralizing? Potty training can turn angelic children into demons and push you to the brink of sanity.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Done right, potty training can be a calm(er), rewarding, special time between you and your daughter, a bonding process unlike any other. You’re helping her transform from an toddler to a little girl, her first real steps towards independence.
Here are some tips on making the transition more smooth.
Be patient. It’s easy to lose your patience when potty training, but one of you has to keep your calm or you won’t progress.
Use positive reinforcement. Praise your child for doing well, rather than focusing on her failures. Kids aim to please. Even if they don’t always show it, or act in direct opposition to the fact, they crave your praise. Give praise to your daughter when she does well.
Stick to a schedule. You can’t expect success if you set your daughter up for failure in potty training. Don’t give her a lot to drink before bed, or before an excursion where you won’t be able to get to a restroom. In the beginning of potty training, take your child to the bathroom every 20-30 minutes until she has better control or recognizes the signs that she has to go potty.
Do not punish. Some parents punish their children for accidents. Yet punishing your child for something natural and beyond their full control stops her from learning how to control herself and undermines how she feels about you and herself, setting up a host of future issues.
Use a potty training doll to teach your child how to go potty.
Reward your daughter with a potty training chart. Kids love stamps and stickers, use a potty training chart system to reward her for each successful potty visit.
Be consistent. You might be tempted to give up if you run into a wall early on. RESIST this urge. If you go from potty training back to diapers and then back and forth, you cannot expect your child to learn. Oftentimes, children have breakthroughs just when it seems like all hope is lost.
Be patient. Yes, we said it already, but it bears repeating. Remain calm, positive, and loving, and ensure your daughter always feels comforted by you and you will achieve potty training power! Potty training girls isn’t necessarily easy, but it doesn’t have to be too hard, either.
You can do it, we know you can!
