Potty Training Resistance

Potty training can be an emotional roller coaster, slowly climbing the rails of resistance, then rolling with velocity down the other side.

Potty training resistance can stem from many different areas of your child’s life. Some children simply don’t care about making the transition to using the toilet, others enjoy the negative attention they receive from their deviance or defiance or potty training accidents. Either way, if your child is showing any resistance to potty training, you’re not alone! Most children show at least some mild resistance to toilet training at some point.

The important thing to remember is that potty training is a process, not an event – and it WILL GET BETTER.

No matter how bad it may feel at the moment, it will get better. You don’t know any adults who still wet themselves, right?

What To Do When Your Toddler Is Resistant To Potty Training

It’s disconcerting when your child has had an accident, and you look in their eyes only to see that they obviously don’t care. It’s even worse when your efforts to convince them why they should go unrewarded (sometimes reasoning with your child probably feels like you’re trying to convince a wall it should be a window).

The best way to overcome this type of early potty training resistance in your child is to is to figure out their currency, then show them how and why potty training is important for them. Once you get them to care (and you will!), you can break the cycle of crazy and make the progress you need to make potty training a thing of the past.

You can offer a special treat when they go to the potty or heap them with an extra large helping of genuine praise. If you give them something they crave, then they will perform.

What To Do When Your Child Goes From Resistant To Defiant

Sometimes resistance isn’t enough and your child will move to defiance. They will test your will and show you exactly what you’re made of. There may come a time when you ask your child to go potty, and they do. Right on the floor in front of you. Or maybe they hold it in until you give up, then they surprise you with enough waste paste to grout the kitchen counter.

Again, you’re not alone. Potty training regression is normal among toddlers, so is outright defiance. For the defiant child, independence and decision making are two highly sought-after qualities. Giving your child a clear option is often the quickest way to get the results you’re looking for. You can say:

“You can go to the potty, then back outside to play!”

Or

“If you have an accident, playtime is over.”

Give your child the chance to make their own decision. Once they make their decision, they must learn to stick with it. Eventually they will begin to make the right decisions and you will receive the full benefit. Potty training is more about guiding them away from resistance and toward good decisions, rather than trying to force them to go to the bathroom.

Potty Training Always Gets Better

No matter how difficult potty training resistance becomes, it always gets better. Let me repeat… It WILL get better. Potty Training  is simply about figuring out what works best for you, then staying as consistent as possible. Of course, it may take more than a week for your child to start catching on. But eventually they will. Stick with it.

Your child’s resistance will fade, they will be potty trained, and you’ll finally have the life you’ve been longing for.
