The topic that we will talk about is simply impossible to get around attention. This is such a sharp question that there is not a single parent, which they would not ask.
Today we’ll talk about how to teach a child to potty
There is a lot of controversy surrounding this topic. But maybe you are that rare parent who has not even thought about it yet above this.
I assure you, soon your mother-in-law or father-in-law, father-in-law or mother-in-law remind you that the time has come for the grandson to go to the potty.
Perhaps one day, on the street, you will notice that mommies lead lively conversation about how hard it was to form this the habit that at a certain age you definitely need to forget about diapers.
And you will begin to think about it, frantically search for options solutions to the issue, make some decisions.
This article is about avoiding common mistakes. and how to easily accustom a child to a potty. By degrees of belief there are 3 categories of parents:
- They say that even before the year you need to plant a child on pot, then everything will be okay.
- The second category considers that going to diapers is normal. When removed, then removed. They allow you to wear diapers without restrictions.
- They survive if the child under 2 years old has not learned to walk on the potty. If this did not happen before 2 years, then it is believed that something is happening with the child not this way.
In fact, among all three categories there is no right.
Because there are physiological prerequisites when the little man begins to control the urge of the brain when he starts asking when he can manage it

Why is it inefficient to plant a pot up to a year?
I know a lot of parents who did this. And they of course We were proud that the child already goes to the pot every year.
The joy of such parents ends closer to 2 years. Exactly then the child stops using the potty.
And there is a misunderstanding what is going wrong, why it went astray scheme.
The secret is that until this moment the child did not have the opportunity run away from you when you forcibly planted him at 3 months, at 6 months.
At 2 years old, he can already walk and begins to simply run away from you. AT this period he has the urge to do something randomly, according of your own will, of your own will, and not because you are so for him have decided.
But at the same time, he is still too small to adjust this process. Moreover, before that all responsibility and initiative adults took over.
Why shouldn’t you give up diapers late?
The second category of parents thinks that the child can walk in diapers as much as he wants.
In general, there is nothing wrong with that.
But I have never seen a healthy person in a diaper. It’s early or later they start going to the pot, and maybe even immediately to toilet.
But we live in a society in which oblique views do more harm than the diaper itself. Most European countries calmly will respond to a 4-year-old baby in a diaper.
But in the CIS they will immediately begin to poke a finger. At that moment baby you can feel uncomfortable, think that something is not with him So.
Therefore, it is better not to bring the situation to the point where the child will decide that something is wrong with him, and his self-esteem will fall down
What does forced learning lead to?
Parents who believe that a child must be 2 years old should go to the pot, take a huge amount action.
They regularly plant a child, plant toys, as visual example. At the same time, the child happily carries the Nordplast toy on pot, but he does not repeat this action.
Sometimes he sits on a pot, but at the same time walks nearby. Parents start to worry, read tons of literature, read everything community.
At the same time, you can stumble upon a lot of tips that will bring more harm than good.
Popular harmful tips that you can not follow:
Do not use the method of 10 wet tights
It consists in the fact that if a child wet his pants, then you can’t shoot them for 30 minutes: it should be like until discomfort occurs, and only then is it worth changing clothes.
But if you love your child, then why create for him discomfort situation? He is small, he does not understand morality.
This is not a human method that will not produce a result. Baby not will understand why he walks in the wet.
But at the same time, the habit of walking in wet pants, which can lead to sloppiness and untidiness.
Do not praise the child for going to the potty
You know, I once saw a 5 year old kid who, coming out of toilet, shouted: “Grandma, I poop.” And grandmother him applauded.
But tomorrow he can say: “Grandma, I breathe.” And she again will applaud?
Go to the toilet, eat, sleep, say hello, see around – these are the same physiological things, and praise it for sure do not.
Otherwise, tomorrow he will go to the toilet, only after your endorsement
Do not read him “kaka-books”
In one of the blogs I found information that you need to read such books. I thought that maybe it’s really efficient advice.
It may be told that the child ate the food, as it goes along the esophagus, what happens in the stomach, how it goes out and where it needs to be done.
But no, I found several books that say that poop everywhere that the strawberries you eat are fertilized poop.
That poop cars are driving around the streets and you have to be careful otherwise you will be sprayed.
After such books, the child will simply stop eating strawberries and will start to fear cars on the street. So these are definitely not the things which need to be told.
Do not scold the child if he described
In no case do not scold the baby if he described.
The other day I watched a very scary story, when either the nanny or whether grandmother ashamed the child that everyone would see that he wet my underpants.
You can’t do anything like this.
How easy is it to teach a child a potty?
We move on to what needs to be done so that the child is weaned from diapers and accustomed to the pot or toilet
1 – Do not rush the child, do not put pressure on him
The first thing you need to calm down and not respond to comments girlfriends, parents.
Because sooner or later the child will learn in any case walk on the potty. He will not walk in diapers all his life.
2 – Wait until he can manage this process
By about two years, a mechanism is physiologically formed, with where the child can delay the rush of “I want to use the toilet” so that run to the toilet and do not sign up immediately.
It is then that he learns to regulate this process. Someone this moment begins a little earlier, with someone a little later.
Just be a little more attentive to your children, and if you saw that the child was actively running and suddenly froze, ask not Does he want to go to the toilet?
Are you writing? Do you have time to run?
If they nods that “yes, in time”, then run to the toilet and sit down him to the potty.
If he says no, then ask him next time waved to you, warned in advance
3 – Show on the example of other children
It is important to always be calm and understand that adults are not go to the potty. And no matter how much you put a bear there, how many would not have put the child there.
He will not be able to understand why they demand from him what he does not see. around.
Therefore, one of the easiest ways to accustom a child to a potty – is to make a party at home with a bunch of children who can walk on pot.
Tell your friends that you have such a problem and let them bring their children, bring their pots and show how other children do it.
When your child sees that other children are not forced, without excessive praise, calmly take off his pants and go to the potty, perhaps even several times during the evening, he will seriously think: maybe this is a really good way.
This one of the most effective and simple methods I used with by your children.
My son then successfully went to the toilet next to the peas. And I made a party, and after I never had to explain to him, why you need to sit on the potty.
Because he saw everything with his own eyes, and there are no more questions arose.
Gradually discard diapers.
Slowly remove the diaper, starting from 1.5 years: for daytime sleep, to the walk. Stock up on a bunch of panties: described, ok, change panties.
Ask that the next time he wants to write, he warned. But he can play again and forget.
Take it easy, change as many times as need to.
4 – Use potty panties
Life does not stand still and parents concerned about the issue potty training, came up with panties, which are called potty training.
Он часто продаются в mother&care. Their essence is that they are not get wet as fast as normal.
If the child is in them, then there is a great chance that after the first “accident” tights will not get wet. They are sold in sets, buy them and change often.
This is no longer a diaper. The child gets used to it take them off like regular underwear.
And they look like ordinary panties, only a little denser. AND this way you will slowly switch to regular underwear.
The most important point – do not rush the event, be calm, do not succumb to hysteria around all this and do not listen to stupid advice that might offend honor and dignity your child.
Treat him with love, respect, and then you will realize that sooner or later he will start walking, maybe at three years old, maybe at 2.5, and maybe a year and 8 months.
And all three options will be considered normal.
See you soon!
