Question

I want to start training my daughter who is 23 months but have no idea how to begin.

Answer 1

Although I have never heard of "Potty training Classes" here are some simple guide lines to potty train your daughter. First start by buying her a little potty chair. The ones that sit on the floor are best, as the ones that fits over the toilet seat is harder for young children to climb off and on from. Next buy some little rewards, this can be something as inexpensive as some fun stickers or reward her with maybe 4 or 5 m&m's. The important thing is too clap, hug, and praise her every time she uses the potty. Also, take her to the store and let her pick out some cute pull ups. Tell her that once she stays dry for one whole week, you will buy her some big girl underwear. Mostly...stay patient and don't expect miracles over night. If she has an accident..don't spank or yell. Just change her and encourage her to stay dry. Give her a soft reminder that you can't give her the sticker or the candy when she soils her pull up. Keep in mind that she will be dry by day, but may need to wear pull ups to bed for some time even after she graduates to regular under wear. Once she is remaining dry through the night for say, a full week, then you can try having her wear underwear over night as well. Expect a few accidents a long the way and do not get discouraged. Remember it takes time!

There are classes for parents to teach them tricks and such about potty training a child. Ask at your local hospital or check with your child's pediatrician. There are classes available to help you get started. Good luck!

Answer 3

Actually my library has a little program that teaches little ones about potty training. You could look into that in your community. It's meant to get kids excited about learning to use the potty.


There are tons of books on the subject, too.

All I had to do to train my daughter was just wait until she was ready then just take her to the bathroom (every 30 min.) show her how to go and how to wipe, wash hands etc. but i will tell you another good thing that helps is if you take her to daycare where there is other kids she will want to be like them and try to go potty. hope this helped good luck and remember she will go soon just be patient. :)
