Very often you can hear such phrases from our moms and dads or grandmothers: "you've already been potty training yourself this year," or one Mother teaches another on the playground, "my Vanya has been potty training since he was 6 months old, so it's time for you to start teaching your own, it's almost two years old, and you still can't sit on the potty." What to say in such cases? How to behave? Psychologists say that nothing prevents you from coming up with your own stories and telling them from the left and to the right. All the stories about going to the potty from 4 or 6 months are simply a hoax, there is a very small percentage of children, less than 0.01% of whom were put on the potty at 7 months and they relieved themselves, all other kids who do not belong to this, such a small percentage begin their acquaintance with the potty no earlier than 1.5 years.
It is from the age of one and a half that the child's nerve impulses give signals that are responsible for urination and defecation. No earlier than 18 months old, the child begins to realize that the panties are wet and he is not comfortable in them.
What is the best way to start an acquaintance?
It is best that the potty is always in the same place, in full view of the child and freely accessible. You don't need to put it on a shelf and take it out every time or put it in the toilet outside the door. The logic of "going to the toilet is necessary in the toilet and the potty should be there so that the child gets used to it immediately" does not work in the case of potty training. Let the potty be in the room where the child spends the most time, and after mastering it, you can move it to the toilet.
You don't need to say in a stern voice "why do we need a pot?" and point at the pot every time the baby walks past the pot, thereby you can only create fear in the child. Just a couple of phrases a day mentioning that you now have your own potty where you can go to the toilet. In a playful way, taking your child's favorite toy, you can demonstrate how his teddy bear or robot goes to the potty. Two or three such manipulations with a toy are enough. This game should be regular and brought to automaticity. If you show the baby one day and forget the next three days, then you will not develop an associative series in the child.
Also, a very important point: when starting to get used to the potty, put the diapers aside and replace them with regular underpants. Babies don't feel in diapers when they go to the toilet, so they won't understand why they need a potty at all, no matter how much you point at it. We are not talking about a child wearing a coward all day, and you with a rag after him and mopping up puddles all day, 4-5 hours a day will be enough. Until your baby realizes that he went to the toilet in his underpants and that he is now wet and uncomfortable, forcing events will not bring you any benefit, except for wasted nerves. There is no rule that a child should go to the potty at the age of two. He'll go when he's ready. You don't require that in a year, a baby who crawls, gets up and walks or starts talking, the same situation applies to potty training.
