Potty Training 101

Ivy denies the obvious load in her pants

"Booty Camp" Just Stinks!

Potty training. Like taxes and death, it is an inevitable part of life, for parents. I cannot tell you how many blogs I've read, discussing personal potty training methods and nightmares. Parents, all over the country, have tales of frustration and repeated failures to get their tykes to use the potty. Desperation is no stranger to the weary potty training parent. Many give up, leaving the milestone up to the child to achieve on their own. Everyone has a preferred method. For some, it is using the new program "Booty Camp."

I will admit, Booty Camp sounds like a very tempting program. With a 98% success rate and the promise of results after only five hours, who could argue with its protocol? Me, of course! I have a few issues with this Potty Whisperer woman and her methods. She recommends using salty snacks and sugary drinks to induce thirst. Ummm....can you say "dehydration?" Secondly, in my opinion, giving a child sugary drinks who doesn't normally get them, is setting yourself up for later trouble. In my house, if you give a child junk food or sweets, their little bodies instantly become addicted. Then, after the Booty Camp ends, the child will want those kinds of drinks and snacks on a regular basis. Duh.

Furthermore, she uses a tactic called, "If you guys go pee and poo in your pants, you're going to have to clean it up." Yeah, great idea. Let's encourage our two and a half year old to touch their own feces. In our house, that's asking for trouble. I think that until a child is at least three, they do not posses the required motor skills to clean a poop mess without getting it everywhere. I know this from experience. Yes, it may be awhile before they reach this stage, but are you really interested in having to redo a clean job gone wrong? The poop can end up under fingernails, which is difficult to remove completely.

I'm sorry, but the one day method that "Booty Camp" endorses, doesn't seem like a well thought out idea. Yes, it gets the job done, but at what cost? What are the long term effects? Are parents going to suffer more stress of dealing with the after effects, than it is worth? Sure the tots may listen to this teacher, but once the class is over, will the parents be able to get the same cooperation? Probably not. As we learned from our experience on Supernanny, kids listen to and obey other people, much better than their own parents. Everything that this lady is charging $250 for, can easily be done at home, without using sugary liquids, salty snacks and unnecessary poop messes. If you really want to spend $250, send it to me and I'll send you a paper that says, "Persistence (in your efforts,) consistence (in your expectations and rules) and resistance (to giving in.) They all pay off." that is really all you need. I know, I've done it six times and am currently working on my seventh.

Potty Training: Really? Or Is It Mommy and Daddy Training? The Truth About Timing and 'Technique'

So many people think potty training is this huge, big deal. But should it be? Look around a little and you're sure to find tons of articles offering all kinds of advice and techniques on how and when to 'potty train' your child.

I recently saw an article that 'guarantees' your child will be potty trained in 3 days! Really?

And let's not forget all of the well intentioned advice from family and friends on this subject. My Mother-in-law swears that her son was completely potty trained by 1 year. Really?

Granted, potty training is a big step for parents and kids alike, but it doesn't need to be a big, stressful deal. Consider this - do you know any adult that isn't potty trained? I don't.

The secret to success? Patience, AND a basic understanding of your child's development.

Potty training success hinges on physical and emotional readiness, NOT a specific age, and certainly not a 'technique'. Most kids will begin to show an interest in using the potty by about age 2, some a little later. But most children will have it figured out, with or without your help, by the age of 4.

Your child will let you know when he's ready

I recommend parents start introducing the potty to their child at about age 2. This is the age when children begin to feel uncomfortable in a wet or dirty diaper. In fact, it's not uncommon for kids to hide behind a chair or something else when they're 'going potty'. It suddenly feels unnatural for them 'go in their pants'. This is a sign they're emotionally ready. If it doesn't bother them to be in a dirty diaper, nothing you can do is going to speed them along - so why push it? They don't 'get it' and you'll both just end up frustrated.

Developmentally at this time, they are beginning to have a sense of their bodily functions, and a sense of some control over it. Plus, at this age they are genuinely curious and are watching everything you do. They want to be 'grown up' just like you.

So place a potty chair in the bathroom, or try one of the models that actually sit right on top of the toilet. Let them sit on it, and get familiar with it, but don't push it. If your child isn't interested, or doesn't want to sit on the potty - it's okay. It means they aren't emotionally ready yet. They'll let you know when and if they're interested in 'learning about this new thing'.

Once you introduce the concept of going potty in the toilet, just relax and let nature do the rest for you. It's really that simple! It's a basic evolution of development. A newborn baby has no concept of going 'potty' in their pants, nor any physical control over it. Neither does a 6 month old, or a one year old. Every child develops at their own pace, but none are capable of doing what is physiologically impossible for them.

Anyone that tells you that their child was 'potty trained' at age 1, is really telling you that THEY were trained to put the child on the toilet at such regular intervals, that they lucked out and had all the waste in the toilet and not in a diaper.

Example - I was talking with some young parents of an almost 3 year old who told me that their son was 'potty trained' at school, but not at home. They were completely frustrated and concerned and not sure what they were doing wrong. Upon further examination, we find out that when he's at school, he wears 'big boy pants' and they take them to sit on the toilet every 45 minutes - no accidents. But at home, he's having accidents all the time. And because he's wearing 'big boy pants' it creates a pretty big mess, which of course is extremely frustrating for Mom and Dad AND for the child.

So, who's 'trained' here? The people at the school are. Mom and Dad could continue this and put him on the toilet every 45 minutes and have the same success. But is it really success? I guess it depends upon what you're really trying to accomplish. It certainly won't hurt anything to do this as long as the child isn't made to feel bad if he has an accident. But the only person trained here, is the parent. Why not remove this pressure? When a parent is frustrated and concerned about anything, it spills over to the child. Putting that kind of stress on a child over something he has no control over yet could potentially cause emotional problems down the road.

This generation has the most amazing invention of all - The Pull-Up Pants for toddlers - USE THEM! Toddlers think they're just as 'grown up' wearing these pants as they are when they're wearing underwear. If they can pull them up and down to go potty, they think they're 'big'!

Encourage them to use the potty, but don't force it

When they use the potty, Praise them by celebrating how 'big' or 'grown up' they are

NEVER make them feel bad about having an accident

Have a little patience and let nature takes its course

You can no more 'train' a child to go potty before he's ready, than you can 'train a child to walk before he's ready. So relax - the pressure is off.
