POTTY TRAINING

Day 1 - 3 no clothes, ask if they want the potty, at least every 1/2 hour. Expect lots of accidents.

Day 4-7 Providing child is now making it to the potty, pants on, still reminding, first couple of days will result in wet pants, but by day 7, usually making it to the potty.

Day 7 onwards trousers on as well, still asking often, take potty EVERYWHERE with you.

If this doesn't work, would say the child isn't ready. Have done it with children from 20 months - 4 years, they are ready when they are ready, boys in general are later than girls, but saying that just had a boy dry at 22 months and a girl not till almost 4. !

I ask DS1 if he wants a wee - he either says yes and nods or shakes head and says no wee
then I ask exactly the same about needing a poo, wait for his response.
Finally I ask if he needs the potty, sometimes he needs a moment to think if he needs to go or not and answers on the potty question.

DS1 has been using the potty since Jan, naked from waist down, no accidents after a while, but as soon as pants were on, accidents happened. been trying this way for almost a week with pants, no accidents since thurs. trying with trousers today.
