The PTC Potty Training Guide has some great tips for potty training your child. Outlined below is a summary of each one of the steps.
- Position yourself for success by making sure that both you and your child are ready to do this and you have everything you will need. Select a distraction free day that you will dedicate to potty training your child. With your guidance, your child will teach his/her doll to use the potty. S/he will start by giving the doll water. Give your child his/her favorite drink as well. Then your child will remove the doll's "big kid" underwear and will make the doll pee on the potty. You will both celebrate and throw a big party for the doll. You will also let your child know that s/he will also have a big party when s/he urinates in the potty. Continue to give your child fluids and ask him if s/he wants to go pee in the potty. While waiting for your child to pee, make the doll have an accident. In a very positive way, teach your child the consequences of having an accident - make the doll practice going to the potty 3 times. You also want to encourage your child to practice pulling his/her pants down and sitting on the potty. When your child pees in the potty, you will celebrate your child's success with a party and /or a call to his/her superhero.
- When your child has an accident, you help him clean up and change. Then practice going back and forth to the potty 9 times.
Congratulations!!! You and your child have done it. No more diapers!!!
