Know that Your Child WILL be Potty Trained ?
Potty training is one of
the most important skills preschoolers will learn. They do learn it?it’s just
that some children are slower than others. Everyone eventually learns how to go
to the bathroom on their own. Have faith! It’s just a matter of time.
2. Stay Away from Cute, External Rewards ?
The more you make potty
training into a game, the more your child will see it as a game. Chances are
they might turn into a competitive battle where you lose. Cute ideas (like
sticker charts for when children ?go?, floating Cheerios into the bowl and
having boys aim for it, putting food coloring into the bowl and having your
child get excited about watching the color change) only confuses the
issue?especially when the gimmicks lose their appeal. The rewards of potty
training should be internal: your child should feel good about herself for
learning something new.
