I hope this information helps you
and your little ones as much as it did mine. I used this on both my
kids when they were potty training aged and it worked perfectly, it was so easy.
First, to make sure your child is ready for potty training, shows interest, wants "big kids pants" etc.
Make this a game, make it fun and you will not run into stubborn opposition (after all
it is the child's body). Go out and buy or find around the house items you don't normally
let your child play with that could fit into this category, some kind of toys that can
be used are water toys (3 or 4 things), could be little plastic pitchers, balls, whatever, but make
them SPECIAL. The only real rule to this game is these special "potty" toys can only be played with while the
child is sitting on the potty!!!!! Very important, no giving out on this one rule, or it won't
work!
Once the child is sitting on the potty fill a large bowl or small bucket with lukewarm
or tepid water, place the new "potty" toys in the bowl and set the bowl of water in front
of the child. On the floor if the potty seat is low, or if it's a potty seat that sits
on top of the regular toilet, set the bowl of water on a TV tray in front of the child.
When the child places his/her hands in the lukewarm water to play with the toys, if the
child needs to physically go, they nearly instantly go potty (it's almost an instinctive type
physical reaction), then cheer, cheer, cheer! Give lots of praise, and if you wish to
give some type of a treat, go ahead. Let them play as long as they want, as long as they
sit on the potty. When they are done playing, put the toys away for next time.
This is really great because it makes it fun for them so they cooperate, it totally
ends all power struggles, there are NONE, and also no more waiting and waiting for them to go,
only to have them go potty as soon as the diaper goes back on. They also feel good because they have
immediate success.
