Potty training in Less than a Day
What am I doing wrong? my 3.5 yo and I have been doing this all day-
from 8 in the morning until now, at almost 2:00. he loved teaching the doll. He loves the underpants. He likes to sit on the potty, with the underpants on. He likes to walk away and then pee, or poop. There is NO WAY I can make him ignore everything in the house- I can't force him to stay in the kitchen only, and even if he is in there some of his favorite toys are there too- pots, pans, dishwasher, etc. Is this whole idea f*cked? or does it not work on really smart kids? I read the darned book thoroughly, am skeptical about chastising him for an accident but am trying. I think the technique was designed for mentally retarded kids- see the four references- 3 are for training them, not gifted kids. I've tried to approach it as potty teaching since he isn't a dog, but it isn't working. btw, I agree that dr Phil got his idea from this book- he only added "calling a cartoon character" after success. Of course, Dr Phil doesn't know much about a lot of things. His ideas on weaning (same show) were lifted straight out of "what to expect the first year" which were lifted straight out of some non-physiological training manual. He is incapable of learning from his guests so how can they learn from him? |
