Do you want to know what is the most convenient way to get your children out of the diaper? This question comes up when your son boasts that he wants to be a little man but he can’t even go to the bathroom by himself.
First of all, never start potty training until your little one is ready. This will only make the process longer and will make you even more frustrated and disappointed.
There is no specific age, but you will see signs of readiness between 18 and 24 months. One of the signs is his curiosity about the bathroom. You’ll want to know more about what adults do when they’re in the bathroom. He will ask questions and start training is the answer from him. You will also notice at this time that your child will get upset when his diaper is wet. Therefore, it is likely that he tends to stay dry for a few hours or more at a time.
By the time the child is ready, you too must be ready (and equipped) as a parent. Familiarize your child with the use of the potty. Make the process exciting and highly engaging for him.
You can start by taking him out and letting him select the “it” potty. Finding great colors and patterns with a familiar character will go a long way. You can also look for some “potty books or DVDs” that you can share with your child. These will be read or viewed only during potty time.
Here’s a great deal with most guys. Most of them will want to sit while they learn to use their potties. Don’t punish them or force them to urinate standing up this time, let them adjust to using the potty first.
After he gets used to sitting down to urinate and has mastered bladder control, challenge him by saying he’s a big boy. Then tell him that big boys use the potty standing up. It is likely that he will follow you with this trick.
Confirm this with your other male friends or with your dad. Ask them to walk you to the bathroom. By having examples, you may decide to pick this up on your own.
By making sure your child is already prepared for potty training before you leave him with the actual training and taking your time with the process, you will definitely increase your success rate with your child.
Always keep things upbeat and be optimistic! Give your guy a high five with every hit and they’ll keep coming back.
Stay patient and in the next few days, you’ll be able to undiaper him and watch that proud little boy of yours go to the bathroom by himself.
