What things do I need to do to prepare me for potty training?.
A
A good thing to do is to have
a potty training plan. To help you formulate this you need to do as much reading
around the subject as possible. You may even wish to buy a potty training book
that you can keep going back to for reference.
The plan should cover things to help you think about the process
- Consider discussing potty
training with your child before you commence
- You may want to demonstrate
how adults use the toilet to your child.
- You also need to decide
whether you think it will be best for your child to skip the potty stage and
use the toilet from the start with a trainer seat.
- Decide whether you are
going to use trainer pants or not
- Decide where you are
going to keep the potty
- Decide how you are going
to make the process fun and reward your child, you may want to use a star
chart or another method of choice.
- You may want to buy the
potty together with your child and let you child chose
- You may want to use a
potty training doll that drinks and wets to help make potty training fun.
The doll can use the potty/toilet too!
- It may help schedule
your potty or toilet sitting times. You may have already noticed set times
you child needs changing so try to sit your child on the potty/toilet at these
times and then change as necessary.
