What Frustrates Parents the Most?
"magpie" wrote in message ups.com... The Key to Potty Training Success (ARA) - When one day you look back on the biggest challenge you faced as the parent of a young child, what do you think it will be? Getting your kids to sleep through the night, teaching them how to eat properly or potty training? "Potty training wins hands down," says "Potty Pro" Teri Crane of Avon Lake, Ohio, I happen to live near this woman ... man, talk about a basket case. Talking to her was like talking to someone who was manic. She seemed to have no idea what she was doing. VERY weird. and she should know. She started trying to train her son, Spencer, when he was two-and-a-half and met such stiff resistance she gave up and put him back in diapers. "Nothing was working. In fact, he actually had become hostile towards the potty seat. We would ask if he had to go. He would shout, 'No I don't have to. I don't want to,'" she says. Spencer's breakthrough finally came just before his third birthday. "I wanted to enroll him in preschool, but couldn't find a program that would accept him until he was potty trained. So I decided it was time to try again," says Crane. Knowing that Spencer loves parties, she decided to throw one that would convince him using the potty is fun. Crane planned a Potty Party for Spencer in which he received the gift of a doll he would help train. "All morning, in between reading books and playing games, I taught Dolly how a big boy goes to the potty by himself and Spencer watched closely," says Crane. "By lunchtime, he had grasped the most important aspects of potty training and was teaching Dolly himself." After lunch, for added incentive, she told Spencer that if he showed her that he could use the potty just like Dolly had he'd get to go to his favorite place, Chuck E. Cheese. "It worked like a charm," says Crane. Crane's Potty Party technique was so successful, she decided to write a book on the subject. "Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day" is now in its 6th printing. The book outlines how to throw a successful, themed Potty Party and teaches parents the keys to potty training success, including how to: * Recognize the signs that the child is ready to be potty trained.

Getting your kids to sleep through the night, teaching them how to eat properly or potty training? If one of these three things could be consideredthe biggest challenge of a parent of a young child, then something is out of whack. I would say laying the foundation of character, self-esteem and good judgment. But that would be me, I guess. |
