If your child has started potty
training and is not taking the chance to go on his or her own, you are
going to have to help to ease your child into it. Here are some ideas
to consider in helping your child make progress towards getting the
process started.
To overcome Potty Training Resistance
you can start by asking yourself these questions!
Am
I the one who is reminding him or her to go potty or are they reminding
me? Remember, that the ultimate goal is to have your child be
responsible for doing all the work such as going to the toilet, going
potty and then finishing the process.
Are his or her pants big
enough to make the training process a simple one or do they need my
help to pull the pants down or off? If your child needs your help, you
can try loose fitting pants first.
Have I confused them by being
inconsistent with the rules? Basically if you have to help your child
pull down their pants and at other times make him do it, this could be
a problem
Are you changing the order of things he should do and
confusing your child? You have to be consistent with the
steps of
the process so there's no confusion.
Do you need to offer better
rewards all of the time to reignite interest? If this sounds like you
then it is possible that you need to change the rewards. For example,
instead of treats, would your child like a chart that they can put
stickers on to see how many times he goes to the bathroom?
Maybe
he would be motivated by getting a special treat if he is dry all day
or all week just to keep the reward system fresh. Sometimes we stop
giving rewards and the child loses their early motivation.
If they forget to run to the toilet, get the child to practice.
The
way I like to do practices is a lot like sports in that if they look
like they need to go potty or they have wet or pooped in their pants,
take hold of him and help them run to the toilet.
If they already had an accident, clean up and get them cleaned up as
quickly as possible.
A
practice is where you take the child to the place where they had the
accident and then offer some support and not a criticism to the child
and ask them to show you how to use
the potty.
Next you will
help them run quickly to the toilet, pull their pants down and get on
the toilet. Then you have to remember to congratulate them. The key to
this is for you to make it fun so they are encouraged that they can
actually do it.
Sometimes, it may seem like a punishment to
the child. If this is the case, then it should only occur once or
twice. You are going to have to do some practices at neutral times as
well, when they are not thinking about going potty, so that they'll
learn how to shift from what they're doing to quickly and make it to
the toilet. That is why you have to make it fun, have a race, and
include the entire family and then everyone can get the rewards
together.
