How to teach a child to ask for a pot?

In the USSR it was believed that by the time of the first trip to the kindergarten, and this happened, as a rule, in 1 year, the child must be able to eat and ask for a pot. Therefore, if we ask our mothers and grandmothers what kind of education was the most difficult, they answer: how to teach a child to ask for a pot if he is only 9 months old. In our age of modern medicine and diapers, the attitude to this phenomenon has changed dramatically.

Now doctors believe that the child begins to ask for a pot when he turns 2.5 years old. And this is already happening not at the level of habit, but on a conscious, meaningful understanding. Up to this age, you can teach crumbs to walk on the pot by constant "planting".

How to teach a child to ask for a potty: the method of teaching

1. Study with the baby pot. Buy a nice, comfortable pot and let it touch the baby. Before you put a crumb at him, let him study it for a few days.
2. Show a personal example. To do this, it is enough to take the child to the toilet and show that mom or dad also do "ah" or "letter-writing". Next you need to sit down on the pot and tell the little one that this device is specially bought for him, and he can cope with it.
3. Planting every 30 minutes. It is recommended to plant small children on the pot every 30 minutes during the waking period, while saying "letter-writing". Thus, the child will develop a habit not only to the pot, but also to words that indicate the moment of excrement.
4. Planting after feeding and sleep. If you watch the cabbage, then they go to the toilet after eating and drinking, and also after sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to drop them on the pot after they eat or wake up.
5. Do not forget to praise the child. After each successful trip to the pot, it is recommended to praise the baby, showing that he did a good job. Also, the baby will be pleased to see Mum's stormy reaction in the form of cheerful applause.

This technique is designed for about a month of everyday activities and will allow even a one-year-old crumb to teach to walk on the need for a pot. At what age the child asks for a pot on his own depends on the baby and how you will teach him. There is only one aspect: the older the child, the easier it will be. And it should be noted that it is unacceptable to ignore the request of the child to go to the need, if you are in crowded places and the baby is dressed in a diaper. This is one of the most common reasons why a child does not ask for a pot on the street, in a store, etc.

If the child does not ask at night on the pot, then it can be taught this. To do this, it is enough to wake the baby several times during sleep, landing the urinate at regular intervals.

To teach a child to cope with a need for a pot is not an easy thing. Have patience and eventually your efforts will be rewarded with dry clothes and clean bed.
