Question 1

everyday the colour of my potty is black?

Accepted Answer

: If you have black stool, you need to see your doctor and make sure you are not bleeding. Black stool could mean blood in your stool and this would need to be investigated to find out why. There are other reasons for black stool-if you are taking iron, for example, your stool can be black. So, see your doctor and have your stool tested to find out the reason for the black stool. Good luck!

Depends on the child: Most kids get interested in the potty around 18 mo. & train by 2 yrs. If their parents start taking them along every time the parents use the toilet.

?? age & development: What is his age? Is he verbal? Has he shown any interest in using the potty? These are important questions prior to potty training.

Question 9

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.
