Executive Summary on Little Toddler by Jacqueline Courtiol

Few of us want to be changing diapers much past the child’s second birthday. However, children vary greatly in their adoption of the potty routine which is influenced by a child’s innate ability, aptitude and maturity. However, there are several tips and techniques that you can use.
1.) Get your child ready - explain to your child that it’s time to do “pee-pee” and “poo-poo” in the potty.
2.) Make it fun - first and foremost, make this a game. Children will naturally resist anything which is not framed as a fun learning experience. Use play, music, toys, and stories as part of the experience to keep the child from getting bored or distracted.
3.) Create a ritual - try to make the experience repeatable so your child knows what to expect each time and gets into the routine of sitting and staying on the potty.
4.) Use props - use of books, toys, videos and music all help create an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment which is so essential.
5.) Time it right - Try repeating the process every hour for 2 to 4 minutes.
6.) Be prepared - If you are traveling or away from home, bring a folding, plastic adapter ring that fits onto an adult toilet seat is useful.
7.) Give praise - give you child social praise for sitting on the potty patiently or for staying dry.
8.) Show your child how to clean up - demonstrate how to wash hands and dry hands on a towel.
Remember that training your child takes patience and perseverance. Staying on task and being consistent send an important message to your child.
