This...Make sure that your child is not constipated. This is the most important in getting started. Children’s are afraid of the toilet and the whole process of getting in a cold wet small room. If you are not an expert in knowing about the constipation, get them to a doctor when you see signs of them not eating well or change of mood. Increase the amount of fluid and fiber in their daily diet. Water plays an import role in helping your child staying healthy and helping to digest easily. Give lots of water and encourage with praise when they drink. Fiber enriched food for kids include; Barley, Navy Beans, Baked Beans, Split Peas, Oat Bran, Raspberries, Green Peas, Prunes, Spinach, Broccoli, Raisins, Mixed Vegetables, Strawberries, Carrots, Potatoes, Corn, Rice, Apples, Oranges, Celery. <br /><br />Read children's story books about potty training to your child. There are lots of books available for you get online on potty training. Reading and imagination helps the child to relate to the interesting characters and behaviors within the story and helps them follow accordingly. Offer lots of praise when your child does make some progress. It is not an easy practice but this will help you see results amazingly when you really put in the effort to make your child proud of their achievement. Avoid physical punishment for not using the potty. Stop all reminders about using the toilet. Replace the reminders with the potty training stories you’ve read to your child. This helps as their mind recalls the story and how will keep it in mind when its time.<br /><br />source: http://www.childdevelopmenttechniques.comTHOMAS Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817440406453572468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190982477679402569.post-24299881637223759462009-10-23T14:15:04.444-04:002009-10-23T14:15:04.444-04:00As usual, I TOTALLY RELATE to your post!! Both of ...As usual, I TOTALLY RELATE to your post!! Both of my girls are finally potty-trained . . . except at night, when I still put them in diapers. I keep going back and forth on whether to just bite the bullet and let them sleep in underwear. One girl routinely wakes up with a dry diaper (or wakes me up in the middle of the night because she has to pee), so she'd probably do fine. The other twin is a super sound sleeper who routinely wakes up in the morning with a soaked diaper, so I think she needs to stay in a diaper at night.<br /><br />They mirror my older girls. My first born was totally potty-trained through the night by age 3, and I can't recall her ever having an accident (awake or asleep). My second born was a different story—she didn't stop wetting the bed at night until age 6.<br /><br />They main problem for me is that I can't (don't want to) handle sleep deprivation any more. I'm at the age where it is literally PAINFUL for me to get out of bed at 2:30 in the morning to change sheets, blankets, and pajamas.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117084634845147874noreply@blogger.com
