sibling, changing from the crib to the
bed, moving to a new house, or when
your child is sick (especially if diarrhea is
a factor). It may be better to postpone
it until your childs environment is
stable and secure. Also, some experts
may recommend starting the process
during summer because kids wear less
clothing, but it is not a good idea to
wait if your child is ready.
Of course, teaching a toddler to use
a potty isnt an overnight experience.

Child Development
Remove a bowel movement (poop)
from your childs diaper, put it in the
toilet, and tell your child that poop
goes in the potty.
Make sure your childs wardrobe is
adaptable to potty training. In other
words, avoid overalls and shirts that
snap in the crotch. Simple clothes are
a must at this stage and kids need to
be able to undress themselves.
Some parents let their child have
some time during the day without a
diaper. If he or she urinates without
wearing a diaper, your child may be
more likely to feel whats happening
and express discomfort. (But if you
opt to keep your childs bottom bare
for a little while, youll need to keep
the potty close by, protect your rugs
and carpet, and be willing to clean
up.)
When your son is ready to start
peeing standing up, have target
practice. Show him how to stand
so he can aim into the toilet. Some
parents use things like cereal pieces
as a bulls-eye to aim at.
Offer your child small rewards,
such as stickers or time reading
with Mommy, every time your child
goes in the potty. Keep a chart to
