Moms - potty training help?
For those who have been through potty training, how did you encourage/teach your kid to recognize when they have to go? Jeffery does awesome now, and will go several days without wetting himself (with the obvious exception of naps/overnight), but I still have to constantly ask him and encourage him to go when he says he doesn't need to. I can probably count on one hand the number of times he's told me on his own before going.
He has a pretty regular routine, so it's not that it's a problem to keep up with. But I'd like to get him to the next step of knowing when he needs to go before he has an accident because I wasn't there to ask.
Re: Moms - potty training help?
we are in the same camp. One thing that has helped has been to leave him with nothing on while at home. He won't willingly poop or pee on the carpet and will just take off running when he feels the urge.
I have also read (although never tried) to wait longer and longer between offers to go and give a small prize if they come to you first. You might start with every 30/45 minutes then move up from there every few days. When it gets to be a couple hours in between, he should hopefully started to recognize the urge and come to you first.
For us, I am ok asking him to go so long as he goes and doesn't throw a fit. I usually offer every 2-3 hours now if he hasn't asked to go.
GL!
I wish I knew.
They take him every 2 hours at daycare and he never has accidents there, so we try to do the same at home. We're not perfect and forget sometimes though.. which is why his playroom rug is in the wash right now
Everyone keeps telling me to be patient and that it will click in time.. its hard though! We're also struggling with pooping on the potty, he's not a fan
Kristen,
For us, a bag of poop-prizes has been huge. When he goes, he gets to pick something out. Play doh, hot wheel, dollar store stuff. He just loves getting a prize. I hang a grocery bag on the bathroom door and he talks about it all the time.
GL, it sucks til they get it
Let's try this again...
