Toilet Training
Toilet training - Clues your child is ready
* They tell you they want a pee or a poo.
* Longer spells between wet nappies.
* They show that they're aware of being wet or dirty.
Potty training without tears:-
* Time it right - pick a period when you have plenty of time.
* Be prepared - e.g. make sure you have a potty/toilet upstairs and downstairs.
* Get the clothes right - make sure what your child is wearing is easy to remove and always have spare clothes available.
* Be prepared for accidents - if accidents happen change their clothes straight away and calmly encourage them to have a go on the toilet/potty next time.
* Encourage with praise - praise is your child's best teacher. Ignore the odd lapse and never tell them off for failing to use the potty/toilet or having an accident.
