New Potty Training Ideas
If your child is offering resistance to the potty training program you've designed for her, it may be time to come up with some new potty training ideas.
Your little one may just be bored with the whole process. Children at this age have very limited attention spans.
This is the time to get creative. Are you using a sticker chart? Maybe you should start or change the one you have.
Surprise her with little gifts from time to time. Potty training is hard work for her, a little gift that recognizes her efforts can motivate her to try harder.
If she's only in training pants or pull ups now, take her shopping for new underwear with cartoon characters on them. Let her choose her favorites.
Put a few toys and books near her potty. Sometimes the problem is that a child becomes bored sitting on the potty and gets up too soon. If she has some books to look at or small toys to occupy her, she may sit longer.
Make up songs about using the potty. Kids love songs and anything you make up will be a hit with her, especially if it has her name in it.
When she's made a particularly diligent effort, have someone else recognize her as well. She gets used to you praising her, but if Grandma were to show up and tell her she's doing very very well, it may well get her attention.
that they can read them and learn to be well informed about how to use the toilet properly. This is a good potty training idea that is usually very effective and if you ensure that the child is made to read these books when he is seated on the toilet, the results will be even better.
Make up your own. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to potty training success.
Using these simple yet creative potty training ideas can prove to be a good way of training your toddler and also provide them with fun and something to look forward to .
