10 Top Tips to Successful Toilet Training
1) Be prepared
Have your toilet training tool kit ready to go. You may not use all the pieces at first but it is important your child has access to a potty, a toilet seat and a step.A potty is handy as it can be moved around the house, great for early days where hanging on is difficult. A special toilet seat, a step or footstool is also necessary so that your child can get up to the toilet on his/her own. This seat may also be portable for going out.
You may also need training pants, either cloth or disposable (depending on what works for your family), and underpants. Make sure your child is wearing clothing that is easy to get on and off, and easy to wash, such as trainer pants.
Have a waterproof cover over nappies such as a pullup or reuseable waterproof pant for extra peace of mind for travels in the car and a Conni Matt for their bed. Some children progress to naps with out nappies quickly when trained (although not without a few spills along the way).
2) Set aside the time
Choose a time when you can give your undivided attention to the task. It is a process that can’t be rushed for your convenience. Make sure this time doesn’t clash with other family events, occasions or disturbances. Ideally don’t begin if you are moving house, the child is starting day care or kinder, is welcoming a new baby etc, etc. Allow yourself some space, over 2-3 weeks if you can, where you can be home more than out. This makes if easier to deal with the mess, for you to focus and for a routine to start.
Summer is the ideal time to encourage toilet-training opportunities (Pants Off Outside Time - POOT) and let your child explore their bodies in stress free environment.
When is the time?
Current thinking suggests that children begin to toilet train anywhere between 18 months and 3 years. Some techniques claim to can help children train earlier, however this may be dependant on a number of factors such as lifestyle, available time and other children as role models, developing toileting cues from birth and so on. For most of us 18 months to 3 years is a useful time frame in which to work.
Once your child is trained there will still be accidents. It takes times to co-ordinate all of the physical and cognitive skills needed to master toileting. Be aware it takes time to practice all of the necessary skills and then more time to successfully build them into their daily routine.
3) Understand the physical challenge
The act of toileting requires a number of coordinated body skills, which may take time for your child to develop. These include:
+ Recognizing the need to go before they have soiled or wet their nappy
+ The ability to hold on, engaging their pelvic muscles, until they reach a toilet or potty
+ The ability to let go and relax their pelvic muscles once they are on the toilet
+ The ability to communicate their need to go, and even better if they can distinguish between a wee to a poo
Make sure your child is not constipated before you start. (if you notice that your child is not wanting to go for a poo then most likely the pain of straining is making the experience unpleasant and they may become scared of going to the toilet for a poo).
4) Give them the right words
Give them the words so that they can tell you. Even if they can’t yet vocalize, use words like wet, dry, wee, poo, it’s coming, name a wet nappy, as opposed to pooey nappy so that they know what is happening and most importantly use words that you are comfortable with.
5) Know the signs
Your child will show readiness in a number of ways such as:
+ taking an interest in others using the toilet. Let them watch and talk them through the process to normalise the experience for them.
+ ability to understand and act on simple instructions
+ pulling at wet and dirty nappies
+ knowing when he/she has to do a wee or poo before he does it
+ be able to hold on for a short time.
+ have the ability to sit for a few minutes
+ telling you that his/her nappy is wet
+ telling you that he/she doesn’t want to wear nappies anymore.
+ telling you when he is actually doing wee or poo or when he has just done it.
6) Practice
Familiarise the child with the potty. Practice on it with teddy or dolly. Get the child to practice on it when they are showing signs or just after the child has gone. Practice making funny faces on the potty and make it fun. Practice pulling down pants and washing hands so that the whole process is a calm and familiar.
7) Environment
Success in toilet training is assured when your child feels secure and comfortable. Make sure your child is comfortable in their physical environment and with their body and it’s functions.
Make sure the toilet is a safe, accessible and comfortable place. So that the child can get in, turn the light on, get up and get comfortable any time without waiting. Ensure your child feels secure on the big toilet as well as on the potty. Have the step high enough for feet to touch when sitting. The Baby Bjorn range is ergonomically designed to add comfort and security on either potty or toilet seat. Make sure that chemicals and cleaners are out of reach.
Set up a no flap environment that allows for mess and misses without getting upset. Guide them to the toilet when they are showing signs of doing a wee or poo. Be calm and positively even when there are accidents.
Give them something to read or look at while sitting and waiting. Blowing bubbles is a great way to help relax muscles and keep young children interested and sitting. Sitting too long on the potty/toilet may become a negative but a little time every day is much more helpful.
8) Consistency
Ideally stay home for a few days to allow the child to have accidents where it is safe. Try not to confuse the situation by allowing the child to wear pants during the day at home but for convenience using nappies when out. Try a nappy over the child’s underpants if you do go out. Their perception is that they are still in underpants, but you’re unlikely to cause any major problems!
Working parents may find this difficult but to minimize confusion word up your carers, be they grandparents or childcare workers. Tell them that you are training your child and explain your expectations, for example when to use nappies and/or pants. These people are your best supports and will be keen to help your child through the process.
9) Praise and Empowerment
Be your child’s biggest fan club! When a child gets praise for telling you when he has done it, he will soon be ready to move on to the next step of telling you before he does it. Thank them for letting you know “it’s coming”, or congratulate them for holding on, getting pants up or down, lifting the lid, washing hands, and a big round of applause for a job well done. As a parent it is crucial that we recognise the difficulty of the physical task. Let them know that every little skill they have completed, no matter how small, is a step towards successful pottying.
Be directed by what the child wants. Some children feel more secure on a potty in a familiar environment before graduating to the big toilet. Allow your child to go back to the potty if they need to. Reassurance, patience and guidance will enable your child to empower their choice as much as possible.
10) Offer Rewards
Use a reward to make toilet training fun!! My mother-in-law was coerced into dancing outside the toilet to make his time there enjoyable. Reward stickers and a potty training charts are a great way of marking every success. Books on the toilet, favourite treats for a job well done, a run to the park if they have made it all day are all great ways of getting them motivated.
