Keep it Simple When it Come to Potty Training!

When it comes to potty training I think many parents just don’t know where to start.  It is hard to know how to connect with your child to “get through” if you will.

Then there is always the argument what if he or she just doesn’t understand.

I have a wonderful little almost 2 year old little boy who told me yesterday that he pooped.  Which was great  but then he went to go hide because he didn’t want me to change him.

So now we are about to embark on the task of getting the poop in the toilet.

This should be fun!!!

I have tried different approaches with my 3 other children.  Then it dawned on me…of course I used a different approach because there are three different types of learners.

Visual Learners – So these are the learners who like to see things and picture things in their head as they are thinking about it.

Auditory Learners – These are the learners that learn by hearing

Kinesthetic & Tactile Learners – These are the learners who have to feel, hold, and touch to learn

My son, I am pretty sure, is the Kinesthetic learner who is going to need some thing to do to get the idea of potty training into his little head.

So my friend turned me onto a book titled Potty Training in One Day by Narmin Parpia.

The book is an easy read which is good for me because I have an attention span of a fly.  I guess I am that hands on learner as well because I would much rather be doing instead of reading…go figure.

This book also introduces the Potty Scotty or PottyPatty training dolls.

These dolls drink an wet-on-demand.  The best part for me is that I am going to be able to model with the help of this doll to help my son get the concept.

We have some major events going on so the process will not start for the next two weeks but I am going to get all of my supplies to go with this great informational book.
