Any advice for potty training??
I have a one year old little girl that hides when she is pottying. I
sometimes catch her behind a door or under the table. She will be in a squating position and will be grunting. At what age were your children potty trained?? Is it too early to start. When I catch her doing it, I will take her into the bathroom and tell her you poopy in here in the potty. Any advice??? |

Any advice??? #1 trained at 2.5; #2 at a little past 3. I would not bother trying to potty-train a 1-year-old. YMMV. Clisby |

It is okay to explain that pee-pee and poo-poo go in the potty, but forcing the issue can backfire, as in give them the recognition that they can control it no matter how badly you want it. It is one of the things that you cannot control and some kids love that. lol. My 2-year- old has had 2 bowel movements on the pot, but that was because he was constipated after a diarrheal illness and he needed my assistance. He just happened to be way more focused on his discomfort than where he was, but he pushed when I said push and I squatted down in front of him so he could hug me through it and put his little feet on my knees. (Some kids don't like their feet just hanging there, or at least mine didn't.) Most days he is disagreeable to going on the pot and prefers hiding behind a chair and telling me "no!" when I ask if he would like to try the potty. He loves to sit on the pottie and pretend wipe, flush, and wave bye-bye to his imaginary waste swirling down, but he's in it just for that part of it so far. Some kids are scared of the sound and motion of flushing too, but he isn't. He just recently started telling me when he has poop in his diaper too, so he is working toward potty-training in baby steps. We allow him to be in the bathroom with us when we go now too, as that sometimes helps make a connection, and we always put him on at key times during the day, like first thing in the morning and before a bath in the hopes the timing will be right one day. My first son took 'til probably age 4 to be completely potty trained (night and day), as in no accidents and being agreeable to stop having fun to do it and denying that he had to go (he would even fake push and say he had none), but my daughter self- trained at 18 months all on her own. I just noticed that she was waking up dry consistently at that age so I started putting her on the pot first thing in the morning. Once she went on the pot, the connection was instant. She never had any accidents either. Each child is different so you need to gauge as best you can how you think it will go, but I would never force the issue at the age of 2. I know it is hard to ignore all of those people who feel the need to brag about how their child was trained, or all of their children were trained for that matter, by XX months, but they aren't your children nor are all circumstances the same. Some people are content with letting their children run around nekkid and watching them like hawks to swoop them up and run to the potty, some timing placement every 2 hours, and some are content with letting those nekkid kids have accidents on the floor. I'm not one of those people. I consider any excrement, human or otherwise, not a good thing for my carpets. Maybe if I had hard wood and tile floors throughout my house, but I didn't and don't. lol. |

Okay, even though it annoyed me that you spammed your blog yet again.... I'll respond. A year really is too young to even try, but I noticed in your other post that you show her the toilet and talk to her about it. No harm in that, but I doubt she's understanding much. All 3 of my children trained well after the age of 3. I took a complete hands-off approach and decided they would do it when they were ready and not a minute sooner. Saved me countless hours of cleaning up any messes and frustration. Nan |

But of course they still had some accidents. |
