When
your child shows most of the signs of potty
training readiness, you can start introducing
him to the idea.
Potty
Training Books, Videos, & DVDs
- Potty training books, videos, and DVDs provide
a great opportunity to introduce the potty to
your child. Read a book as a bedtime story or
watch a video together. Your child will surely
have questions and be delighted when he finds
a potty chair of his own!
Potty
Chair or Seat
-
As you begin introducing the potty to your child,
be sure to put a potty chair in the bathroom.
Children love to imitate other family members
and your child will probably sit on it when
he sees you use the bathroom. After watching
a potty training video or reading a potty training
story, your child will have a pretty good idea
what the potty is for.
Potty
Training Doll
-
Dr. Phil recommends purchase an anatomically
correct drink & wet doll for potty training.
His method involves having your child teach
the doll to use the potty, thereby learning
himself!
Training
Pants
- Potty training pants facilitate potty training
by enabling your child to feel that he is wet.
Diapers draw the moisture away from your child's
skin so he can't always tell that he has just
peed. Training pants allow your child to feel
the wetness while protecting everything else
from leaks.
Potty
Training Incentives
- Rewards and incentives such as stickers, snacks,
and certificates can be great potty training
tools. They work especially well for children
who understand the basics but need an incentive
to stop what they are doing and sit on the potty.
