How to potty train a toddler and rid your child of diaper dependency

Let’s face it, children are comfortable in diapers and it’s the only way they know to relieve themselves. Getting a child out of diapers and onto the potty can be quite a challenge, but definitely one of the most important milestones in a toddler’s life.

Many parents struggle to find a good solution to get their young children out of diapers. Believe it or not, 60% of parents struggle with potty training, usually due to a combination of poor advice, trial and error, and lack of knowledge. This can lead to a stressful situation for both the child and the parents.

Delaying training can also lead to mental and health risks for the child. Imagine the total embarrassment for a child who is 4 years old or close to going to kindergarten, where he is the only one who is not potty trained. A child who is having a difficult and stressful time transitioning to the toilet may develop unresolved constipation issues. In this situation, a child may prevent her from doing her business and intestinal problems may appear. This can be very serious, but the good news is that it can be prevented.

Most of the time, new parents listen to advice from friends and family on how to potty train a young child. Unfortunately, what works for one child may not be right for another. Here are some things not to do when trying to potty train.

1. You keep buying fancy training aids because you find them so compelling.

Sometimes simpler is better and a fancy big training aid can confuse and complicate the situation.

2. You try a seemingly popular technique and it doesn’t work, so you abandon it altogether.

As with anything with children, consistency is key. Most things don’t work right away, but if you believe in it, keep working at it.

3. You let the kid run the show because he has to know when to go, right?

Children need guidance and direction. They need to be shown what to do over and over again before it finally clicks for them. Repetition is important.

Make sure your child is ready for potty training. This will ensure a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. That’s how you’ll know your child is ready.

1. The child may remain dry for long periods (usually hours).

2. The child understands and can follow simple instructions.

3. The child is aware of what is happening.

4. The most important thing is that the child shows an interest in using the bathroom and removing diapers.
