In order to be successful in your attempts to get rid of the nappies, you should know what some of the reasons why children resist the potty are. Some of the potty training resistance reasons are: the fear of sitting on the potty chair, pushing a child too early or too fast towards doing this, harsh punishments or incorrectly applied rewards for doing or not doing it, forceful and aggressive implementation of the use of the potty, inconsistent training or mere stubbornness of a child who simply enjoys trying to control the parents. Therefore pushing the children too early to potty train is not a wise thing to do. Some of the signs of children s being ready for potty training include: language or signs that indicate the need to use the toilet; the necessity to stay dry for at least 2 hours after a diaper change; fine motor skills to dress or undress; an interest in pleasing parents or modeling, and others. Infant Potty Training Infant potty training is a very appealing alternative to late potty training. This term means that you can start potty training your child in the first six months of hi or her life. Some studies have proved that the baby is ready to learn new things from the very birth moment. As long as there is no pressure on the baby but there is a lot of perseverance and motherly warmth, infant potty training can be quite successful. The process itself is not sufficient unless you use the completion stage, namely the potty training reward charts, to record the times when the child sat on the potty and peed and pooped in it. What are potty training reward charts? As their names tell, potty training reward charts are devices meant to record children s successful uses of the potty. Or you can create your own potty training reward chart using paper, card, ruler, colored pencils or markers, and stars or stickers. You just have to make sure you create or choose the potty training reward chart that is adequate for your child s age, gender and preferences. Explaining the child how the potty training reward chart works and why he receives a star or sticker, you will make the child proud of using the potty, thus forgetting about his previous fears or lack of willingness. Some of them have previously tried the one day method, or the timed method and many others that you may have already come across. Most important in order to gain success with potty training boot camp, is to start applying this method only when your child has signaled in one way or another that he or she is ready for the training.
