One of the stages of child development that parents often wait with anxiety is the time to remove the diaper. After I changed about two thousand diapers years (admittedly, estimated about 6 a day), probably not the time you see your little one starts to go to the bathroom alone. What few moms and dads know is how long it may take. And while it is true that some children learn in a few days, it is also true that many others take several months. The chance of success to teach your child to successfully grow if you learn the basics of training, and convey that clearly to your child.
First step: Identify signs that your child is ready
Some children are ready to begin the process of withdrawal from the diaper to 18 months of age but others do not show any interest until they are 3 years or more. In the United States, most parents begin to train their children when they are between 2 and 2 ½ years, but in many Latin countries are used to start much earlier, especially in previous generations, when they had to wash diapers hand (and to boil!) at home. So do not be surprised if your mother or your mother insisted on telling them the diapers off their children before they reached one year. You may have done, but perhaps spent much of his time to clean up "accidents", because at this young age, children do not yet have the capacity to control their bodily functions. Physically, most children develop the ability to control their sphincters around 3 years and up to 5 years is considered normal to have some instances of urinary incontinence.
Today, with the ease of disposable diapers and the knowledge that is not good to force children before the due time, it is best to wait until your child begins to show some signs that you are ready to begin to go to the bathroom by himself rather than pressing to begin to train unprepared. Some questions to ask yourself to see if you are ready are: obey simple instructions?, "Walking and feel alone?, do you try to imitate adults or siblings when they go to the bathroom? Also remember that something you have done very well with your first child may not work with the second. The good news is that children often learn that follow more quickly than firstborns, but little boys often take longer than girls.
Also consider other factors besides the level of development and preparation of your child. If your little one is currently undergoing a major change in your life, like going to a new school or daycare, or the arrival of a sibling, it is likely that the process of removal of the diaper becomes more difficult, and ideally would postpone until the situation stabilizes.
not make sense to start teaching your child at a time that you can not devote the time, patience and good humor necessary. If you're very busy renovating the house, or you suffer from morning sickness due to a new pregnancy, it is certainly not the time to take your child's diaper. It is best to wait a couple of weeks or months, until things are quieter.
If the pressure to teach to the bathroom comes from your mother or other relative with good intentions, explain gently why you think that you and your child are ready yet, and highlight it I prefer to wait a while to do so with confidence. Also, if you're outside your usual environment, vacation or spending time in a relative's home, it is best to wait. The unavoidable accidents can cause tension in a strange house and your child will feel less comfortable than at home.
Second step: Buy the necessary equipment
The first thing is to invest in a good potty seat or a special seat that engages the toilet in your bathroom. Choose the one you prefer, but make sure your child can touch the ground with their feet or take a step or bench where you support (if it is a seat that fits over the toilet) to be firm and stability, and can bid to evacuate. If you go or do you get from your local library, children's books or videos on the topic is sure to awaken more interest in your child.
If you think a man and child to buy a potty, look for one without the protective shell for urine or bring one that is removable. Although the protective shells help prevent the escape was a boy dash out of your toilet, have the disadvantage that children often hit or scratch the penis to get in and out, which may discourage them to use the potty.
Third step: create a routine for your child
To begin, let your child to sit fully clothed in her potty once a day, after breakfast, before showering or bathing is normally done. That will grow accustomed to the potty and start to accept it as part of your daily routine. If you do not want to sit, do not worry. The important thing is that you should never force or compel him to remain seated. And above all, do not push too if notes apprehensive.
If this happens, it's best to keep your potty or at least put it aside for a few weeks or a month, and then try again. If after this truce is willing to sit down, excellent, but still try to explain why it must, for now, your only goal is to get used to the potty. Therefore, be sure to place it in an accessible and convenient. As is portable, you can take the garden or the room where the child usually plays.
Fourth step: Say goodbye to diaper
Once your child is already used to sitting fully dressed in his potty, the next step is to do it without a diaper. Remember that it is something that has never done before and that needs to get used to the feeling of being there without clothes. This is the stage where you begin to explain that they do Mommy, Daddy (and brothers you have) every day. So, explain that when you are big boy te quitas la ropa antes de hacer pipí o popó.
Si el niño hace algo en el orinal, muy bien, pero no se lo exijas ni insistas demasiado. Recuerda que es importante esperar a que tu niño muestre señales de que está interesado en ir al baño solito.
Quinto paso: Muéstrale cómo se hace
Los niños aprenden imitando a los adultos, por lo tanto la manera más natural de que aprendan a usar el inodoro es viéndote hacerlo. Aunque papá querrá que su varoncito haga pipí de pie como él, es más fácil que empiece a hacerlo sentadito, y que más adelante papá o el hermanito le enseñen a hacer pipí de pie. Seguro que no tardará nothing to imitate.
When we're demonstrating how to use the toilet, it's good that you go explaining what you're doing, you teach what you have "produced", and show that in the end you clean, dress, lengths of chain and you wash your hands.
If a brother or older sister who already know how to use the bathroom, he or she can also do a demonstration to small. Children pay close attention when the "masters" have almost the same age as them.
Step Six: Explain the process
What also could help you is to teach your child where they are evacuated. The next time soiled diaper, take him to his potty, feel it and then empty the diaper into the potty under him. This will help to associate the act of sitting on the potty and poop. Then let go with you to the bathroom and empty the contents of his potty into the big toilet. Let him flush the toilet if you want (but do not push if you feel that you are afraid) to see where all of your poop. Teach him to dress and wash their hands at the end.
Step Seven: Encourage them to be independent
Encourage your child to use his potty whenever you feel like it, but make sure you know you can also ask you, and thou take to the bathroom whenever you want. If you can, let him occasionally run through the house without diapers and keep your potty on hand. The longer you leave it without a diaper, learn faster, but you will have to be willing to clean up some puddles. Tell him he can use his potty at any time and from time to time is there to remind them when needed.
Sometimes children do not remain seated long enough to achieve relaxation and bathing. Calmly, try to encourage him to remain seated for at least one minute. Will be easier to achieve if you do company, speaking or reading a book.
Praise your child every time you make your needs on the potty, and begin to realize that using the potty correctly is an achievement. But while it is important to flatter him, try not to exaggerate, and avoids transform every trip to the bathroom in a great event, otherwise your child will start to get nervous or embarrassed by so much attention.
Step Eight: Buy
training pants can help you serve the training pants (underwear child are extra protection absorbent or disposable diapers that go up and down like underwear) as allow your child to remove them and put them on his own. Some Children like them work very well, but others are just a different type of diaper, so do not fulfill their role of training. These children are more motivated to get underwear true that this kind of pants or diapers.
Ninth step: accept his errors with good humor
No child who completely mastered the art of the toilet by himself without having a series of small "accidents." When this happens, you should not be angry with your child or punish him remembers that until very little time your son had not yet fully developed muscles, and therefore did not have the control necessary to achieve contain urine or stool. Over time, your toddler will become very competent, but while you learn, the best you can do is clean escape calmly when the pee or poop and suggest that next time try using his potty.
Tenth step: Start the night training
Even if your child is kept clean and dry throughout the day, it may take several months or even years, until you can handle your needs throughout the night, that is still not get rid of her diapers. At this age, your body has not matured enough for waking you up whenever you need to pee. To help keep entourage, do not let him drink too much before bedtime, and remind him that if he wakes in the middle of the night, you can call for help to go to the bathroom. Another thing you can do is put the potty next to the bed if you want to use.
Once your child has woken up five nights running completely dry, there will be time to start training at night. Cover the mattress with a plastic or waterproof protection under the blanket, and lie to your child without diapers. If your child does not seem to learn how to endure the night entourage, back to diapers at night and try to take them off again after a few months. Eleventh
step: Celebrate, you've got it!
Believe us, if your child is ready to learn this new skill will very successfully. And if instead of trying to rush you expect to truly be prepared, the whole process will be much easier and less tedious, both for you and your son. Sooner or later, your child will learn to go to the bathroom like adults, and you do not have to re-think on the subject ... at least until the arrival of the next baby.
