Potty Training Debate
THE great potty debate is upon us.
Pediatric experts are duking it out: Should your tot take to the pot when you, the parent, think the time is right? Or should he keep to his own gastrointestinal schedule, even if it takes until kindergarten?
Dr. Phil on Potty Training
One of Dr. Phil’s original episodes is how to potty train your child. He is using a combination Potty Training In One Dayand Potty Party Kit. He uses a wet on demand doll to demonstrate the appropriate potty training behavior. By talking the stages through with the child, keeping the child interest and having the child "teach" the doll how to pee in the potty. By having the child "teach" the doll they are really learning themselves. I strongly recommend anyone starting potty training, find a method and be consistent! I have included a link below of a clip from that episode:
Parents Magazine’s article “It’s Potty Time!”
Parent’s Magazine for August 2009 featured article "Its Potty Time!"
I don’t know who wrote this article but it was awful, and not a lot of research was put into it. One "expert" is quoted saying "The fact is every child will be diaper-free eventually." Duh! How is that advice?
I have included below the most helpful parts of it below:
There are 9 signs that it’s time to start potty training:
1. He/She can easily take off all their clothes.
2. He/She asks to be changed when they are wet or poopy.
3. He/She follows you into the bathroom, ask questions, and imitates you.
4. He/She knows her body parts and the words "pee" and "poop."
5. He/She basically understands what pee and poop are, where they come from and where they belong.
6. He/She shows interest in potty training books and potty training videos.
7. He/She stay dry for at least 2 hours in a row, is dry after naps, and ideally, is poop-free overnight.
8. He/She normally stops an activity when he/she needs to poop.
9. He/She isn’t constipated.
They say "not to rush" the process. There is a lot of research that back this up. It seems we rush with everything we do these days. We rush to the store, rush home, rush to work, etc. We also, unknowingly, rush our kids to go potty. That why the summer is a great time to potty train, you can take your time and focus on them being diaper free!
