Product Information

Are you a little uncertain about how to approach potty training? Are they old enough? And how should you go about it? We have some advice for you down below.

Remember, you cannot force your child to use a potty. If they're not ready, you will not be able to make them use it. In time, they will want to use one – most children will not want to go to school in nappies any more than you would want them to. Talk to your health visitor about any worries or questions. They'll have helped lots of parents see their children through potty training, and can give you tips to make things easier for you and your child. My child doesn't want to use the pottyAs we said, positive reinforcement is a very effective way of encouraging good behaviour and continued effort. We’ve noted that your child may be a bit reluctant to put in the effort to leave nappies behind. Which is why you need something to motivate them, and an easy-to-follow way to measure their progress and potty training rewards can be a key part of the process.

Encourage your child to sit on the potty after meals, because digesting food often leads to an urge to do a poo. Having a book to look at or toys to play with can help your child sit still on the potty. Try not to worry. Remind yourself that sooner or later, your child will want to be dry for their own sake. If they start to see potty training as a battle with you, it'll be much harder. Talk to your health visitor or GP to get some guidance. They may refer you to a clinic for expert help.

Find a Scheme of Work

Whatever you decide, don't let it get you or your child down, and don't put pressure on them. Talk to other parents about how they coped. Being a parent comes with a lot of different responsibilities. One of the biggest ones is teaching your children the skills they’ll need as they grow older. And skills don’t get much more fundamental than learning to use the toilet. Now, young children can be a bit reluctant to accept changes to their established routine. Especially when it means more work for them. Why should they learn to use the toilet when nappies are working out so well? Hang the chart in a prominent place and at your child’s eye level. This will act as a reminder and allow them to see their own progress. Non-material rewards can include praise or a big hug from you or other family members. You may even find it fun to have a little celebratory song or dance to perform when your child reaches a goal. Try not to overdo it or turn it into too much of a big deal though as this can create too much pressure for a child. Of course, potty-training rewards are optional, but if you do decide to offer them, it’s usually best to avoid large and expensive prizes. The focus is on your little one gaining confidence and learning to use the potty rather than on getting new toys. Experts also advise against using food as a reward.
