Are you at your wits end with your child not being able to completely potty train? Maybe he or she was doing great, and now they just want to wear a diaper. Maybe the little one just has accidents every now and then. No matter what is going on with your child, here are tips you can use to help them potty train.
1. It's Okay To Stop
If the child is just having a few accidents, every now and then, it is okay to stop for a while. Try and take your child's mind off of potty training for a few weeks. Don't mention it at all. If you believe he can potty train right now and are seeing progress, then don't stop, you're efforts will be wasted. If nothing seems to be working though, stop. Don't make your child feel guilty, or yell, that could make it worse. Simply put the potty back in the bathroom and let him know it is there if he needs to use it. Once, you stop making him use the potty, he might just try it out.
2. Potty Popsicles
This a good way to get the child to act for reinforcements, yes, in a way it's bribing, but it might work. You can make your own popsicles by freezing your child's favorite fruit juice and only give it to her when she goes potty on the potty. Do not give it at any time. Reward the child with a potty pop every time she uses the potty for the first three to six weeks, then only give it to her when she remembers and requests one. At a certain point, usually after a few months potty training will seem so normal, she will forget and go about her business.
3. Put The Child In Charge
Let her be the boss. She gets to tell you when she has to go, and she can put a little toilet paper, or water into the toilet to wash it flush. When she misses, she can help you clean up, this way she sees the importance of doing it right.
4. Incorporate Baby Wipes
Baby wipes are essential in the training process; use them after a public restroom and to teach the child how to properly wipe.
5. Vacation
A vacation can be a great success or a failure for potty training. Adjust, sometimes you have more patience on a vacation, other times, you might just want to give the child a break and relax.
