Is Early Potty Training Possible?
Is early potty training possible? How early is early? For many parents in the U.
S, toilet training a child before age two is reprehensible.
Many believe it's cruel to the baby and will surely send the child from the crib to the psychiatrist's couch.
But believe it or not, early potty training is not only widely acceptable everywhere, it's also a highly sanitary and more ecologically correct way to get a child out of diapers.
Contemporary Pediatrics claim that more than 50% of the world's kids are toilet trained by the time they celebrate their first birthday.
So how exactly does early potty training work? The principle is simple: learn your baby's body language.
Right from birth, your baby behaves a certain way whenever he needs to eliminate waste.
Study these visual cues, and observe timing patterns and vocalizations.
For instance, babies usually feel the need to go after feeding or upon waking.
Some babies yell before they have to pee while others behave a certain way, such as shake a fist or a leg.
Observe your child, and look for elimination cues and clues.
Some children give obvious and clear cues, others do not.
This may take you a while but eventually, you will begin to see a pattern emerge.
You will notice that your baby behaves a certain way when it's time to go.
Once you have established that a pattern exists, make a sound such as "pee pee" or "ssss" once your baby starts to potty.
Within a few days, your child will learn to associate the process with the sound.
Of course, these are but a few of the steps involved in early potty training.
Take the time to find out how you can toilet train your child early.
You will be surprised at how doable it really is.
