DEAR POTTY TRAINING CONCEPTS: WE LOVE YOUR TRAINING IN ONE DAY PROGRAM. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKS SO FAST. MY SON WAS IN DIAPERS ON SAT AND WE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT FREE FOR 2 DAYS NOW. THE ONLY DOWN FALL THAT WE ENCOUNTERED WAS OUR SON COULDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION ABOUT POOPING IN THE POTTY. HE WOULD LITERALLY POOP IN HIS TRAINING PANTS, TAKE THEM OFF AND RUN TO THE POTTY TO PEE. HE MADE THE CONNECTION IMMEDIATELY WITH THE DOLL AND PEEING IN THE POTTY, BUT AS YOU KNOW POTTY SCOTTY DOESN'T POOP. SO MY HUSBAND IMPROVISED. HE CHEWED UP A CHOCOLATE BAR AND PUT IT IN SCOTTY'S PANTS AND WE PROCEEDED JUST LIKE WE DID FOR THE PEE. MY SON MADE THE CONNECTION IMMEDIATELY. ALSO I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAINING PROGRAM THAT I COULDN'T FIND IN THE BOOK. I KNOW THAT WHEN YOUR CHILD IS DOING HIS PRACTICE RUNS, HE IS SUPPOSE TO ONLY SIT ON THE POTTY FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND CONTINUE UNTIL ALL 9 ARE COMPLETED. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF HE PEES WHEN HE IS SITTING THERE FOR THOSE COUPLE SECONDS?
DO YOU REWARD HIM FOR THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR OR NOT? HE IS ON THE TOILET BECAUSE HE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHICH YOU DON'T WANT TO REWARD HIM FOR BUT YOU DID GET THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR THAT YOU WANTED. I ALSO FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT HE HAS NEVER PEED IN HIS BED DURING A NAP OR AT NIGHT.WE HAVE TO ADMIT ONE DAY AFTER TRAINING WE WONDERED IF THIS WAS REALLY WORKING BUT NOW WE HAVE NO DOUBTS.
THANK YOU
