what are the most effective ways to potty train?

Accepted Answer

Make her want it: My experience is that kids truly can potty train when they care if they are wet most of the time. When they want to be immediately changed 80-90% of the time, they generally can be trained within about 2 weeks. This stage of development does have variability, generally anywhere from 18mos- 3 years. Remember, nobody goes to kindergarten in diapers. All kids train, if healthy.

is it possible to potty train a child before the age of one?

Accepted Answer

No: Infants of this age do not have the developmental milestones to accomplish potty training. If you are "potty training" a child of this age, then you are training yourself and not the child. You are responding to the child's cues. This type of training can have a negative psychological impact on the infant as they get older.

A toddler who walks: from room to room, pulls his/her pants &amp; pull-up or underpants down &amp; says " pee-pee", "poo-poo" or potty to indicate he/she senses the urge to "go" is ready for daytime toilet training. If not, you may create a behavior problem . There's no harm in putting a potty chair in the bathroom for the child to sit on while you model using the toilet, but don't force the child to sit on it.

Reward each step.
