Easy steps for TOILET training!👶🚽

Описание: Effective toilet training involves consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Here are the key steps to follow:

⸻

1. Assess Readiness
• Age: Most children are ready between 18–30 months, but every child is different.
• Signs of readiness:
• Stays dry for 2+ hours
• Can follow simple instructions
• Shows interest in the toilet or wearing underwear
• Can pull pants up and down
• Dislikes dirty diapers

⸻

2. Gather Supplies
• Potty chair or seat insert
• Training pants or pull-ups
• Easy-to-remove clothing
• Rewards (stickers, small treats, praise)

⸻

3. Introduce the Concept
• Read potty-themed books or watch videos
• Let the child watch and learn (from a same-gender parent or sibling, if appropriate)
• Explain how the toilet works and where the pee/poop goes

⸻

4. Establish a Routine
• Take the child to the potty at consistent times:
• After waking
• After meals
• Before naps/bed
• Every 2–3 hours during the day

⸻

5. Encourage and Model Behavior
• Let your child sit on the potty with or without a diaper
• Encourage trying even if nothing happens
• Use praise for effort and success, not pressure or punishment

⸻

6. Transition from Diapers
• Use training pants or regular underwear during the day
• Be prepared for accidents and respond calmly
• Avoid switching back and forth between diapers and underwear too often

⸻

7. Reinforce Positive Behavior
• Offer small rewards or a sticker chart
• Celebrate dry days and successful potty trips
• Encourage the child to flush and wash hands

⸻

8. Handle Setbacks Gently
• Accidents are normal—don’t scold
• Reassure the child and clean up together
• Maintain consistency

⸻

9. Teach Hygiene
• Always include hand washing
• Teach wiping from front to back (especially for girls)

⸻

10. Nighttime Training (later stage)
• Wait until the child stays dry at night regularly
• Use waterproof mattress covers
• Be patient—it often takes longer than daytime training
