Potty Training in Three Days
Things Needed For Potty Training in 3 days
Used and old T-Shirts
It is advisable you collect a few t-shirts that will help you cover your kid’s private area. Why? You might wonder. This will aid you in covering your kid because he/she will be going commando for the next three days.
The theory behind this is if he/she knows that there is no diaper to catch the pee or poop, and then definitely he or she will have to sit on the potty. If your kid is not comfortable with going commando, you can opt for loose undies without pants.
The absence of pants during the training period is to encourage the toddler to rush to the potty in case of emergency accidents.
Accidents
Accidents are bound to happen and this part of training. We all “learn from our mistakes.” During the three-day potty training, the parent or caretaker is advised to be patient with the kids since they will mess up every place and anywhere. Instead of scolding the kid, praise and encourage them to use the potty the next time they feel they want to “go”.
Encourage lots of drinking
For effective potty training, ensure that your toddler or kid drinks more than usual. This will cause the kid to have to pee and this is what you want. That urge will push the kid to have the need to use the potty.
Mild Reminders
You can always remind your kid to “go”, this can occur if the kid has had so many drinks and yet does not have the urge or the want to “go”. In some instances, the kid will say “no” and in this case encourage him to just try.
Rewards go a long way
If your kid is a candy lover and does not have a sweet tooth, you could simply reward him or her with a candy. You can also try giving him or her incentives like stickers, coloring books, and crayons. If the kid’s pees in the potty you reward them but if he pees on himself or on the rug, then no rewards for them.
How To Potty Train Your Kid In Three Days:
Day One
Change your toddler or kid’s diaper and bid it farewell. It is recommended that you allow the kid throw the diaper by himself and tell it “bye-bye”
Dress up your kid with an oversized Tee and while your at it explain to him/her that on this day there will be no diaper to catch his poop or pee, therefore he/she has to use the potty.
During breakfast ensure that you add an extra drink to his/her share. Immediately after breakfast, lead him to the potty. This should be the first successful trip to the potty. Ensure that he/she “goes”
This should continue for the next three days. Keep in mind that there will be no going out of the house during this time. You could engage the kid in some reading, playing or even drawing and coloring. If they are a fan of the cartoon the better.
Ensure that the Sippy cup does not run out of water or drink. Keep constant refill of this and take your kid to the potty every 15minutes.
Constrain and cut off liquids and snacks after dinner.
Before hitting the bed, make sure that you complete one final lap to the potty.
It also advisable to set an alarm so as to wake up the kid in the middle of the night and let him pee.
Have a recap of this event for the next two days.
Remember never to get upset about the accidents and incidents, above all never react or reprimand the kid.
When Not To Start Potty Training
Here below are the times advised that you can never start potty training your kid.
- Around the birth of his/her brother or sister.
- Time to change from a crib to a bed.
- When moving into a new house.
- When traveling.
- When your child is sick.
Type of Potty Do We Use
There are two types of the potty. The one which stands alone and can differ from a small potty to a baby toilet. The other is a seat designed in various styles which can be set on top of the family toilet or under the seat and which your child can feel safe sitting on.
Before You Start Potty Training
Before potty training your kid, you could make him/her familiar with the changes he/she will undergo in the next few days. Reading him/her a children’s book on potty training will make him/her eager for this new experience. Read out loud in a funny, jovial way.
Always remember; Potty training should not be stressful.
Steps to ensure that your kid uses the potty on the first day
- Lead your kid to the potty and make his seat on the potty or seat.
- Encourage longer sitting minutes on the potty giving him a book to read while sitting
- Praise for the kid even sitting for a few minutes on the potty.
- Set up a routine of when you are going to set your child on the potty.
- You can start by setting them on 15 minutes after each meal is a good idea.
- Never force your child to stay on the potty. Should you catch your child in the act of doing a poo, encourage them to sit on the potty but don't force.
- Try a period of 'no pants' as this now and again helps the child to be more aware of what is happening.
- Offer rewards for successful trips on the potty.
