Solve Potty-Training Problems



3 keys to solve potty-training problems
    1)    Patience.
    2)    Perseverance.
    3)    Positive Attitude.

Examples of Potty Training problems:

1) “She Won't Go in the Potty”.

"If your child has no desire to use the potty, chances are she's just not ready," says Ari Brown, MD, coauthor of Toddler 411(Windsor Peak Press). First you should make sure that your child is ready for this step. Observe your child, make sure they show interest in the potty. Be attentive to your child’s needs, wanting to change the diaper, stops playing when their diaper is full. If you witness such actions, then throw that potty in and start teaching your child on it. If you don’t see such actions, then it may not be potty time just yet.

2) “My Child Only Uses the Potty When I Put Him on It”.

It's normal for a child to depend on Mom's reminders in the early stages of potty training. After all, he's spent his whole life peeing and pooping in his diaper whenever and wherever he's needed to. A little practice and experience will help him learn to recognize his body's signals and get to the potty in time, says Dr. Hannibal. To change this routine, encourage your child by telling them that they are now big and that they are able to get to the potty by themselves. Encourage by giving stickers, stamps or whatsoever to help with the process.

3) “My Child Will Pee, but Not Poop, in the Potty”.

If your child won't use the potty but poops in a diaper with no problem, she's probably afraid. "Pooping into the toilet is scary for a lot of kids," says Adiaha Spinks-Franklin, MD, a pediatrician at the Meyer Center for Developmental Pediatrics at Texas Children's Hospital, in Houston.
"They may feel as though they're losing a part of their body when they poop," says Dr. Spinks-Franklin. "Or they may not like it if the water splashes onto their bottom, or they may worry about being sucked into the toilet." To help your child overcome her fear, Dr. Brown recommends this gradual step-by-step process: first, let your child poop in a diaper but only while in the bathroom. After a week or so, continue letting her poop in her diaper, but have her do it while sitting on the potty or the toilet.

4) “My Child Only Goes Potty at Home”.

Lots of kids get attached to their own potty seat or the familiar toilet at home. "All toilets are different, especially those in public places," says Dr. Hannibal. "A bigger seat opening may make a child think he's going to fall in, and an automatic-flush toilet can also be scary." Help him get used to new bathrooms by starting with one in which he feels safe, like the one at his best friend's house or at Grandma's. When you need to step out in public, take his potty with you, or use a portable toilet-seat cover to make him feel more secure.


5) “My Child Is Potty Trained During the Day but Wakes Up Wet”.

Lots of parents think night-time dryness should go hand-in-hand with daytime dryness, but toddlers and pre-schoolers simply aren't capable of staying dry at night. In fact, with their small bladder and sound sleeping habits, it's not unusual for children to wet the bed until age 7, says Dr. Brown. So put your child in a diaper or disposable training pants when you put him in his pj's -- the whole family will get a good night's sleep (3-year-old Alex Ballad calls his bedtime diaper "overnight underwear," according to his mom, Tricia, of Bloomington, Illinois).

Ideas to Ease the process of Potty-Training:

- Decorate the potty together. Add their name with stickers.
       - Make them choose which panties to wear, they might take care of ruining it if they really like it.
    - Let them blow bubbles while sitting on the potty.

Nursery/Kindergarten - The secret to a successful adaptation A child who comes to the nursery for the first time feels alone, lost and helpless. How can you help him? For most children, going to a nursery or kindergarten is the first separation from their parents. They see it as confronting an unfamiliar space, in which parents leave it to strangers. What does the period of adaptation of the child to the nursery or nursery look like? - we prefer to use the term adaptation, and the question that arises is: Who has a harder time living that period? The parent or a child? It is difficult for everyone to fall apart: to the parent - if he or she has never separated from the child, to the child - because he or she feels anxious about the parent. What should the adaptation for the kindergarten look like? ● The first arrival is purely “administrative” - the parent talks to the kindergarten director. ● On the second visit, there is a child with the parents - to see...
