			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>One of the most challenging aspects of babyhood is baby potty training, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to getting your little guy or gal out of diapers and onto a baby potty.</p>
<p>Some children can easily be trained sooner than others &#8211; and many will be two years or more before they can grasp the concepts of toilet training.</p>
<p>It is important that you remember to not expect too much too soon from the baby.</p>
<p>There are some amazing training pants on the market that have made the task of potty training a little simpler. Training pants that pull on just like regular underwear will encourage your baby to pull the pants up and down in order to go to the restroom as needed. You can even find training pants that are specifically made either for girls or for boys and they will feature some padding in extra places depending on which sex the baby is.</p>
<p>The adult toilet can be an imposing and frightening place to the baby. Baby training chairs are like small toilets for baby, only you empty the potty pan each time baby goes potty. There are all types of potty chairs on the market, and some will reward baby with a musical chime when he uses the potty. These can be plastic or wooden with a plastic bowl for holding waste.</p>
<p>When it is time for the baby to graduate to big girl or boy underwear, be sure to use a baby potty training pant at night in order to guard against accident. Be sure to praise baby for his efforts at baby potty training. Children, even babies, love to be praised for everything that they do, and praising the baby reinforces your potty training lessons.</p>
<p>If you are the parent of an infant,<a href="http://babypottytrainingideas.com">baby potty training</a> seems difficult, however, you can learn from others who have been through the same training before and get your child on the potty like a grown up soon enough.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>Don&#8217;t assume you have to stop potty training if your family travels. You just need to be prepared for toilet training while traveling.</p>
<p>A standalone potty chair can be vital, particularly if you will be traveling in a car. If your toddler has to go, try setting the potty seat up in the back seat for them. Be sure to bring inserts or small plastic bags for lining the potty seat. It will be much easier to keep the car clean.</p>
<p>If you bring the potty training seat, be sure to remember paper or wipes for your little one. Try to use the same kind he or she uses at home. A long trip is not the place to experiment.</p>
<p>If your toddler can wear disposable training pants, be sure to have them along. This will protect clothes, car seat and tender little feelings from the occasional accident.</p>
<p>Limit fluids as much as possible, as well as solid food with a high water content. You definitely want to find the balance between maintaining healthy hydration and guaranteeing your youngster will have an accident when you can&#8217;t find a place for a potty break.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget to stop often so your youngster one can use the rest areas bathrooms. You can pack a folding travel seat specifically for these stops, or bring the standalone potty chair in. Your little one may insist on using his or her own standalone potty chair because the strange surroundings frighten them.</p>
<p>Most children experience a degree of potty training regression in a time of high stress. Try to be more lenient if they have more accidents than they did at home.</p>
<p>When you reach your destination you can try to encourage your child to resume a little more normal potty training routine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>STEP THREE TRYING- So now the main event, trying. This stage can take days, weeks or even months to master. Your little one knows all about the potty chair. Where it is and what it is used for. Now is the time to get them to try it. Just to sit on it. If they disagree with that, then don&#8217;t say another word about it. Back up, into the previous stage if need be.</p>
<p>Remember your child is really the one in charge, you don&#8217;t want to battle with them on this. Just keep talking and showing and let her get confident about using it. Try to get them to use the potty once a day. Maybe first thing in the morning or just before bath time.</p>
<p>Just before bath time, is a wonderful time to get them to try. Wait until they have been dry for about an hour. Then have them get undressed for the bath and have them sit and wait on the potty. Turn on the tub water, this can get the senses started. They will feel the need to pee.</p>
<p>You want to keep from making a HUGE celebration every time they go potty. This could set them back. DO praise the accomplishment and try not to call them a big kid, some children are not ready to be a big kid yet. You know your child best, use your own judgment.</p>
<p>Have them try once a day or as often as they like. After a few days of trying once a day, try to increase the visits. Every time they sit and try, does not have to be a successful visit. Increasing your visits will help set the stage for when they become more successful. This will help get them in the habit of visiting the potty.</p>
<p>Forming good habits require repetition. With enough repetition you can them form a habit. The more you do it after the habit is formed, the more reinforcement you give to that habit and the stronger it becomes.</p>
<p>Expect accidents to happen, don&#8217;t get mad, just clean up and continue on. Let them know, that it&#8217;s ok. When time goes by and he is emptying on a consistent basis, back off and let him remind himself. Let them decided when to go. If she&#8217;s always emptying her bladder she&#8217;ll never know the real feeling or urgency to go on her own.</p>
<p>During distracting play time your child can forget about using the potty and forget to listen to their potty senses. So taking potty brakes during busy playtime, are a good idea.</p>
<p>Something that is helpful for some parents and children is to have your child run around the house without a diaper or underpants, just be bare bottom. If you try this, you need to stay with them the whole time. This way you can watch for potty queues and help them rush to the potty. This will help them feel for their own potty queues. Your child with feel the urgency and they will be more apt to hold it since they don&#8217;t have anything to catch it. Some parents don&#8217;t like this because accidents can happen. Again use your own judgment. You know your child best.</p>
<p>Let <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ydwo2mv">Baby Potty Training </a> help you say goodbye to daipers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>SHOWING is the second step to baby potty training. This step can sometimes overlap step one. Now is the time to acquire a potty chair. This can be a celebrating time or a laid back time. If your child loves to get presents or picking out things at the store then make it a celebration. Either wrap one up all pretty as a gift or let them pick one out. You know your child best, so you know what they would prefer.</p>
<p>If your child eases into everything slowly and you feel that going shopping or opening up a gift/present is too much. Then make it low key and just put a potty chair in the bathroom where they can find it on their own. Be sure to let them lead the way at first, you should not ask them to use it yet, unless they insist. We still need to do more showing first. Just explain to them, &#8220;this is your own potty to go pee or poop on.&#8221;</p>
<p>Leave toilet seat adapters, for after they have been using the potty chair on a regular basis. Sometimes the big potty is too high, sometimes it&#8217;s being used. Using the big potty can be too scary yet. Some kids like their new potty chair, they can sit on it with their clothes on or off. They can stand on it with the lid down and use it for a step stool. They can sit and read a book on it. It is all up to them. They should leave it in the bathroom, so they know that is its proper place.</p>
<p>Pull ups are a great thing for helping to potty train but they are not necessary. Your child can pull them up and down all by themselves. You can explain what the pull ups can do and they can take them off when they use the potty chair and pull them back up when they are done.</p>
<p>The best way of showing is to actually show them how to go potty. You be the role model. You use the potty in front of them. Not everyone is comfortable with someone watching them use the potty but this is the most valuable tool. They will really see, first hand what this is all about.</p>
<p>If you are just not comfortable about doing this, then don&#8217;t do it. They will sense your discomfort and associate it with using the potty and that will create hesitation for them. If you are comfortable with it, that is great, then do it, do it every chance you get! Children love to copy what we do. Tell them you have to go sit on the potty and ask them if they want to come with you. They can either watch you or they can sit on their potty.</p>
<p>This is the time to TELL and SHOW all of the steps. Explain out load everything you do. &#8220;First I pull down my pants, I sit down on the potty, I go potty, I wipe, I pull my pants back up, I flush the potty and wash my hands.&#8221; Some kids like to flush the potty for their parents and some like to wave and say goodbye, when the potty is flushing. Be careful flushing can be a scary thing for some children, so use your own judgment.</p>
<p>Siblings are great when it comes to the showing stage. I suggest all dads and older brothers to sit when they are showing boys how to use the potty. This also helps when they need to have a bowl movement. Little boys are not too good at aiming during the potty training process. You don&#8217;t want to be frustrated about them peeing all over the place, they will sense it and regress. Dads and brothers will need to show how they need to push their pee pee down so the pee goes into the potty and not spray up. NEVER FORCE YOUR CHILD, IT WILL BACKFIRE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>When teaching or learning anything the first and most important part is understanding. So when teaching potty training you need to talk to your child so they can understand what potty training is all about. Talk to them when you are changing their diaper, &#8220;you have a poopy diaper and now I am putting on a clean diaper&#8221; or &#8220;your diaper is wet and now I am putting on a dry diaper.&#8221;</p>
<p>Change your childs diaper everytime it is soiled even if it is only a little bit. This is so important during the potty training stages. Your child needs to enjoy being clean and dry. The more they enjoy being clean and dry the easier the process will be. If you are not excited about changing them more often, just keep telling yourself that this diaper is one less diaper you will have to change later when your child is out of diapers.</p>
<p>Always keep your comments and expressions positive and happy. Never make negative comments when you are changing your childs diaper. Never poke fun, make jokes or laugh about poop or pee, especially associated to their diaper. They may interpet that as a form of attention. They may start to soil their diaper to get that attention. They need to feel postive and confident about potty training talk.</p>
<p>When you know that your child is having a bowl movement, ask them nicely , WITH OUT embarrassing them, &#8220;are you going poop?&#8221; Then let them be. If they usually leave to go to another room and you know they are having a bowel movement, then let them be. When they are all done, you can then ask them if they just went poop? Ask them if they need a clean diaper on. Check their diaper, then explain to them what they did &#8220;you pooped in your diaper&#8221; or &#8220;you peed in your diaper, let&#8217;s go put on a clean dry diaper. This will give them an exact name and example of WHAT they are doing.</p>
<p>Be sure to always ask in a nice happy tone, you never want them to have any negative feelings associated with pooping or peeing.</p>
<p>Talk about the family pet, &#8220;Spot goes potty outside, and then we put that potty in the garbage&#8221; or &#8220;the kitty goes potty in the litter box and when I clean it out I put it in the garbage, just like we do with your wet or poopy diapers.&#8221; Talk to your child about the fact that everyone goes pee pee, and poop. Give them examples like &#8220;when I have drank a lot of water, I need to pee on the potty.&#8221;</p>
<p>Talking about everything will give your child a clear picture of the whole process of potty training. This will create a good understanding they can do. Understanding creates confidence. With confidence comes success!</p>
