I am start to give training my boy & he is now 21months.I use a potty chair for him......play with the potty......what i would suggest is to try to make games, read lots of stories, ,,,i dowloaded a great app called potty training learning with the animals....my son loved it and help him a lot!
my little boy is 18 months old and sits on the loo and potty with out any pull ups on, we have started doing this so he gets use to sitting on them, he follows his dad into the loo and will sit on the potty or if he asks to sit on the big boy loo we will put him on, he has done the odd wee in the loo but not the potty, he sits on it for about 5 mins then asks to get down, is this a good sign to start potty training soon? or do you think his still a bit too young? im unsure as this is the first time i will ever had to do any thing like this xx
1. you need to get acquainted. To do this, just put the baby on the pot and do not require anything else from him.
2. sit the baby at the moment when, as you think, he wants to use the toilet.
3. pay attention to how the child behaves before going to the toilet. Maybe he becomes moody or, opposite, very quiet, tries to hide, thinks. In the future, this will help you to catch the right moment.
4. never swear, even if, as you think, the baby does by on purpose. Only as a result of long and persistent training, rewards, convictions, a good and good attitude, it will be possible to quickly and without harm to the psychological and physical condition of the child to achieve the desired goal.
5. to quickly learn with a minimum of mistakes, it is important to fix a certain sequence of actions in the baby’s mind. For example, a baby wakes up, takes his mother by the handle, and sits on a pot.
