Your Child is showing an interest in potty training. What is done next is the determination of whether you are successful or not. There are many theories on how to approach potty training. How to know which one is best for your child is often a hit and miss time. One method may work for your child, but not your friend-s child. The important thing is to keep the experience positive right from the start. It will take a lot of patience and praise to get through this time with your child.
Keeping the experience positive is the most important part of the whole potty training. The child has to feel that it is a good thing to be going in the potty. Never get upset with them or yell at them when they are on the potty. They will associate this with negativity. It is best to praise them after they go potty. There are different theories on giving rewards. Some parents chose to give candy, stickers, or small toys for going in the initial stages. There are pros and cons with that theory. Take them in at least every hour until you begin to know their potty routine. Make it a fun time with toys perhaps. Don’t make them sit there for long periods of time with nothing to do. This will make it a negative experience. With luck your child will be potty trained in a few months.
