Easy Ways To Quickly Potty Train Your Toddler

Maintain A Routine

Children learn best when there is some semblance of structure, and potty training is no different. A structure can help make reinforcing successful potty uses easier and more effective. Having a routine of when to use the potty also increases the chances of success. For example, many parents encourage their toddler to use the restroom in the morning, after meals, after a nap, before baths, and before bed. Additionally, the routine should also be established in the restroom. The toddler should know to use the potty, to wipe, to flush, and to wash their hands after each trip to the bathroom. If you can maintain a routine, you will be much closer to potty training your toddler.

Explain The Digestive System

To explain the digestive system, you do not need to have the understanding of a gastroenterologist, and an explanation like this would likely cause a toddler more confusion than understanding. Your toddler should, however, have a basic understanding of how the body processes nutrients and removes wastes. This can help them understand their body's waste products are not a vital piece of life and can even be harmful if they are held in. In fact, researchers have found holding in waste can cause urological, gastrointestinal, and even emotional problems. It is important to prevent these problems so life runs as smoothly as possible, and a basic understanding of the digestive system is the first step.
