We’re thinking about starting potty training our Casey. I learned that at about 18 months, a toddler can be trained already. So, we are going to get the equipments we need for it today. Casey will be 19 months old on the 28th so it should be a good start since he is indeed showing signs of readiness already.
It is said that one of the things to consider when it comes to potty training is when you see a facial expression that you can tell he needs to go since he still couldn’t say it in words yet. I can see that on his face every time he needs to go and he is at the right age to begin with so I will have to work on that training as soon as we have everything we need.
I did a research online and thought it was funny that there’s a book intended for it. Most of the books promise the ‘one-day potty training’, but I guess that’s not really going to happen all the time. It should be a gradual transition. Anyway, here’s a list of things that we need and the steps on toilet training a child.
Things You’ll Need:
- Training Pants
- Potty Chairs
- Hand Soaps
- Stickers
Step1
Look for signs of readiness including staying dry for at least 2 hours during the day, asking to wear “big-kid” underwear, having regular bowel movements, or indicating through facial gestures that he or she is about to go potty.
Step2
Talk to toddler about using the potty. Choose words to describe body parts, urination and bowel movements, while avoiding words that may be offensive to others or embarrassing to your child.
Step3
Show toddler how to use the potty and to wipe and wash hands.
Step4
Encourage toddler to tell you when he or she wants to go potty.
Step5
Reward your toddler for a job well done.
