The stages of the development of the baby are happily observed by every mother. Time flies quickly, and now the kid already gives his mother a first smile, eventually turns over, crawls, and there and before the first steps not far. Of course, all this does not happen by itself, and it is necessary to make certain efforts - to do gymnastics with the child, to communicate with him, to give the karapuza all his time. No matter how developed and inquisitive the kid is, if the child refuses to sit down on the pot, it can upset and confuse even the most patient parents. Do not worry, because to teach the child to ask for a pot sooner or later succeeds all, and you are not an exception. The main thing is to choose the optimal time, place and circumstances.
When to put the child on the pot?
To begin with, the baby begins to learn to control urination and defecation with six months. It is at this time that the child observes with interest his body and those processes that occur to him. For example, a child pisses or empties, after which he studies with interest the contents of the pot. It is at this time that you can teach the child to walk on the pot or at least show an active interest in it. We do not want to upset you, but it is unlikely that you will be able to accustom yourself to the pot of an active kid, because he simply does not have the patience to sit for a long time. If your child is calm and not too mobile - you can get out of this fight by the winner and teach your baby to ask for a pot at a fairly early age.
If a one-year-old child refuses to sit down on the pot, do not rush to sound the alarm - the fact is that at this age the child begins to strive for independence and can arrange a real riot if something is forbidden or imposed, including using a pot.
It is at the age of 10-13 months that some children stop recognizing the pot, even if they used to use it earlier.
The ideal time from which you need to teach the child to use the pot - from two years. At this time, the kid is able to understand everything, it is easier and easier to negotiate with him, because such a child can easily be explained that he will behave "like an adult" if he learns to use the pot to the destination.
How to teach a child to a pot?
Most importantly - do not try to compete with someone, listening to the stories of other mothers that their child has long asked for a pot and uses it himself. First, you can say anything, and secondly, every kid is an individual, and, in fact, there is no difference in the age at which he will start using the pot.
Of course, the teaching of the child to the pot has its own characteristics. For example, those children are much quicker to go to the pot,
So, the ways to accustom a child to a pot may be different, but it is important to consider the following features, due to which the process of training the baby will pass quickly enough. The child is ready to be accustomed to a pot if:
- he began to interest his body, to study it;
- the child has an idea of what the sexual organs are for, he has more than once observed the process of urination and defecation.
Watch for the behavior of your child, catch the moment - for sure the crumb behaves in a certain way before the natural needs are corrected (for example, calms down or fits). At this time quickly offer him a pot. And, if conditions allow, keep the baby naked - so he will soon get used to sit down on the pot, because he will not have to take anything off himself.
