When should a child be potty trained?

It will take quite a bit of time, and the child will need to be potty trained. This is not at all easy to do, because the baby up to this point has managed with diapers. Parents should arm themselves with information in advance and only then get down to business!  

Most children are ready physically and mentally for mastering the potty at the age of one and a half to two and a half years, but there are exceptions. There are children who go to the potty even at an earlier age. Agree, early planting on the potty is not bad at all, but only when the child is fully aware of what they want from him.

When should a child be potty trained?

Parents should not chase the achievements of the neighbor's kid in mastering the potty, as all children are different. The child may not understand what to do on this subject, get scared and start to be afraid of him, and parents disappointed with their offspring will leave this idea for a long time.

The mother must first prepare for the process of accustoming the baby to the potty. You need to consult with a pediatrician, listen to other parents' stories of instilling this skill, remember when your child relieves himself and after what period of time this happens, only then start pottying. Many children try to pull off their pants, touch themselves with their hands and cry when they feel the urge to go to the toilet. The baby needs to be helped at this moment and certainly praised for a successful trip. For children, parental encouragement is of great importance, the child will also try to repeat the success next time to be praised.

What you should pay attention to?

Pay attention to the appearance of the potty, ideally if the child chooses it himself. Most likely, you will have this object of bright color with colorful drawings. Experts believe that the most comfortable models are on stable legs with backs, but the main thing is that the little one really likes it. The child can play with it for the first time, but the pot should not become fun. The peanut needs to be explained that he has already grown up and now he also has his own place in order to relieve himself, as adults have a toilet bowl. The very fact that the baby has already become big will cause him genuine delight.

when to potty train a child

All family members and people who come to the house need to show interest in the potty, admire and ask if the child goes to him, and if he does not go, then wonder why he does not want to go to such a beautiful and wonderful potty.

Pay special attention to the place where this "throne" will stand.

A child in wet pants feels discomfort, this circumstance will push him to the potty. Always say that it's time to go potty, this should become a ritual, first immediately after sleep, and then throughout the day.

Later, when the baby will regularly go to the potty, you need to change the place by moving the potty to a quiet corner. Growing up, children begin to be embarrassed to go to their “toilet” with everyone.

When starting to instill such an important skill, you should remember that your child has individual characteristics and therefore may get used to new actions in a different way. A good potty will help to collect the tests and will not cause discomfort to your child. Gain patience and strength to calmly take up teaching the child to a new action.
