Before the invention of diapers, mothers tried to teach children to go to the potty as early as possible. In our time, this need has disappeared. But it is necessary to teach the child to go to the toilet sooner or later. And many mothers have the question of when to start doing this.
A baby's bladder is fully developed by the age of three. By this time, children can fully physiologically control the process of urination during periods of wakefulness. However, it is not necessary to wait until the child is three years old to start introducing him to the pot.
When should you start? There is no need to rush. Let your child learn to sit and walk so that he can walk to his toilet and use it calmly. It is also advisable to wait until the age when the child will understand your speech. Then you can explain to your child in detail how and when to use the pot. Usually, children acquire these skills by the age of one and a half.
Show the child the pot, for several days you can put toys on it, talk over what they are doing there. Then try planting your baby. Usually the child goes to the toilet after sleep and 20 minutes after eating. If the baby managed to pee, rejoice with him. Tell me that he is already doing a lot like a big one. Once the baby understands why a potty is needed, you can refuse to wear a diaper at home while the baby is awake.
If the child does not want to learn to potty: shouts, refuses to sit and use it for its intended purpose - do not insist. Leave it as it is for a while. After a couple of months, you can try offering your child the pot again. Without a doubt, your little one will soon learn to go to the toilet on their own.
