While toilet training is rarely a breeze, it doesn't have to be an endless battle, either. Here's a list of winning strategies and common pitfalls to guide you through this often trying process:

Do:

* Make sure your child is ready. While there's no magic age at which a child is ready to start using the potty, most toddlers develop the physical and cognitive skills necessary for success sometime between 18 and 24 months. But many won't be trained until they're well into their third year, and some won't be ready to start until they're 4. To assess your child's readiness, use our checklist.

* Plan ahead. Before you so much as buy your child a potty seat, it's a good idea to go over the logistics of toilet training with your spouse and also with your child's caregiver or teacher. Decide when and how you want to start, how you'll handle accidents, and ways to keep your child motivated throughout the entire process. Ask your child's pediatrician, nanny, or daycare provider for any advice. Their wealth of knowledge can help you come up with the best plan for your child. (Learn how to train a boy or a girl.)

* Take it slow. Like most developmental skills, toilet training can take a long time to master. Although some children nail it in a couple of weeks, it's more likely your child will take months to finish training — and then there's nighttime to work on!

* Praise your child. Nothing works better during toilet training than positive reinforcement. For a child just starting, this means encouraging him as he attempts to learn how to use a potty. Celebrate with him when he first gets something into the potty and reward him with plenty of fanfare the first time he stays dry all day. But don't make a big deal out of every potty trip; the glare of the spotlight could make your toddler nervous and skittish.

* Be patient when your child has accidents. Virtually every child will have numerous accidents before being able to remain dry all day and night, so stay low-key. When he does make a mess, calmly clean it up and get him into dry clothing.

Don't:

* Start at the wrong time. Beginning right before a new baby is due, just after you've moved into a new home, or when anything is disrupting your child's life will only make potty training more difficult. Toddlers are creatures of routine, and any changes will cause setbacks in their behavior.

* Put on the pressure. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to toilet training. That means knowing how to be encouraging without being pushy, and when to back off. Let your child take his time to get used to this new, complicated process; he'll move from one stage to the next in his own time. Of course, it's perfectly fine to stimulate his interest with gentle reminders and stories, but if he balks, don't push.

Answer 3

First off I would let your baby show you signs that he is ready. Is he waking in the mornings with dry diapers? That's an important one. If he is, then he may be ready to start. How does he respond to getting his diaper changed? That's another key one. Does he fuss and fret? Or is he at ease and content to lie there while you or someone else changes him?

Being that he was pre-mature as a newborn baby means chances will be good, he will be somewhat delayed in the toilet training area. If anything at all, put him into a pair of thermal cotton knit training pants with a pair of rubber pants over top, and see what happens. Don't be hard on him and ask him in a nice way, "Do you have to go potty"? Take him to the potty and let him sit down on it so that he knows what your talking about. I would go slow although.

One of my nephews was born a preemie and he was still in diapers at 4 years af age. Remember patience.

Answer 4

It is really too early to think about potty training yet. Wait until he is about two and a half and then introduce it to him gradually.
1. Put a potty chair in the bathroom but say nothing about it. Let him play with it if he wants to.
2. When you undress him for a bath ask him if he wants to sit on the potty chair while you read a book to him. If he happens to pee while there praise him.
3. When he approaches age three begin to take him to his potty chair on a regular basis (every 2 hours or so) and remove his diaper, encourage him to sit for a few minutes while you read or play finger games with him, etc.
Sooner or later "it" will happen and you can praise him wonderfully when it does. But if nothing happens just quietly dress him again after a few minutes and praise him for being cooperative.
Be patient. It takes time.

Answer 5

I just made my son sit on the potty every 30 min during the day I would put him on underwear at night I would put a diaper on him in case of an accident. After about 2 wks he was use to it and haas been potty trained every since. You just have 2 be patient he will come around

Answer 6

Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them........

1. get m and m's handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it's to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m's.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?'
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don't
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m's. They are very colorful and kids love them!!

11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don't say much at all. Remind them it's ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.

Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My girl was potty-trained in one day with the method. Took my son a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen't work at all, try again in a few months.

Answer 7

Boys potty train themselves. I have two and both started at different times. The main thing is to make the toilet available to them, remind them of it and maybe put some cherrios in it as a target. Let him know while you're changing his diaper that he'll be a big boy when you no longer have to do this for him. Don't pressure him or force him to sit on the toilet, you'll only scare him. Patience Skywalker.

Answer 8

allow him to run around naked and watch for him to give you signs...potty training is 95% observation! Place a pottychair in the living room (sometimes it's the bathroom they're afraid of) Take him outside and encourage him to drown the bugs or water the flowers! When he starts going outside, introduce the potty....put cheerios in the toilet, it makes it fun to have something to aim at....boys are a trip! And you can read literature on the subject, but NOONE knows your baby like you do!
I have 3 sons, werked for me! Good luck!!

Answer 9

Ask your son. I comprehend it form of feels quite silly despite if your babies will could be useful knmow whilst they're clever to start potty guidance. some will start up removing there own diapers or getting mad while you placed diapers on them. some will in basic terms commence tryin g to go int he lavatory at random cases. So watch your son 's motions he will inform you whilst he's supplied. i've got 3 babies my oldest all started potty guidance at approximately 11 months he in basic terms hated diapers. My midsection you may take a seat down in front of the restroom except he exchange into performed along with his commerce. And my youngest is 20 months and all started taking her diaper off at 11months now her few determination of words is potty. i counsel you place your son on the potty now and lower back see if he helps you to do it if now no longer then in basic terms guard attempting except he's waiting. sturdy sturdy fortune.

Answer 10

My son was potty trained at 24 months.

I took him to the store, and let him pick out his own underwear. He picked Batman. The first time he peed in them, he was upset because they were his batman underwear, and he messed them up.

I put a couple of Cherios in the toilet, and gave him something to aim at. He loved it! It was a game.

My daughter wasn't as easy to potty train, but she eventually got the hang of it.

Good luck!!

Answer 11

When should I start toilet training my child?
Do not start toilet training until both you and your child are ready. You are ready when you are able to devote the time and energy necessary to encourage your child on a daily basis for at least 3 months.

Your child is ready when he or she can signal that the diaper is wet or soiled, or when your child is able to say that he or she would like to go to the potty. This usually occurs when a child is 18 to 24 months of age. However, it is not uncommon for a child to still be in diapers at 2 and a half to 3 years of age.


How should I prepare my child for toilet training?
Allow your child to be present when you go to the bathroom and make your child feel comfortable in the bathroom. Allow your child to see urine and bowel movements in the toilet. Let your child play with flushing the toilet.

Before toilet training your child, place a potty chair in your child's normal living and play area so that your child will become familiar with the potty. Consider placing a potty chair on each floor of the house if you live in a multilevel home. Allow your child to observe, touch and become familiar with the potty chair.

Tell your child that the potty chair is his or her own chair. Allow your child to sit fully clothed on the potty chair, as if it were a regular chair. Allow your child to leave the potty chair at any time. Do not force your child to spend time sitting on the chair.

After your child has become used to the potty chair and sits on it regularly with his or her clothes on, try having your child sit on the potty without wearing pants and a diaper. Let your child become comfortable with sitting on the potty without wearing pants and a diaper.

The next step is to show your child how the potty chair is used. Place stool from a dirty diaper into the potty chair. Allow your child to observe the transfer of the bowel movement from the potty chair into the toilet. Let your child flush the toilet and watch the bowel movement disappear down the toilet.


How do I teach my child to use the toilet?
After your child has become comfortable with flushing the toilet and sitting on the potty chair, you may begin teaching your child to go to the bathroom. Keep your child in loose, easily removable pants.

Place your child on the potty chair whenever he or she signals the need to go to the bathroom. Your child's facial expression may change when he or she feels the need to urinate or to have a bowel movement. Your child may stop any activity he or she is engaged in when he or she feels the need to go to the bathroom.

Most children have a bowel movement once a day, usually within an hour after eating. Most children urinate within an hour after having a large drink.

In addition to watching for signals that your child needs to urinate or have a bowel movement, place your child on the potty at regular intervals. This may be as often as every 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Stay with your child when he or she is on the potty chair. Reading or talking to your child when he or she is sitting on the potty may help your child relax. Praise your child when he or she goes to the bathroom in the potty chair, but do not express disappointment if your child does not urinate or have a bowel movement in the potty. Be patient with your child.

Once your child has learned to use the potty chair, your child can begin using an over-the-toilet seat and a step-up stool.


How long will it take to toilet train my child?
It may take up to 3 months. It is important for you to be patient and supportive. Do not punish your child when he or she has an accident.

If your child is not toilet trained within 3 months, consult your family doctor. The most likely reason your child has not learned to use the potty is that your child is not yet ready for toilet training.
