8/14/2020

Do your child won’t go in the potty? Do your child only goes potty at home? Do your child is potty trained during the day but wakes up wet? Potty training is a big project on the whole family, in the next couple of weeks, I will introduce to you the potty training strategies that work. Today I will introduce to you three tips to tell you when your child is really for potty training.

The first tip is developmentally readiness. In child development have an application called structure function principle, it states that a child cannot perform certain functions until specific developmental structures are in place and sufficiently mature. Don’t start training your child until he or she has both the capacity to learn and the ability to achieve. Please keep in mind that every child is different, maybe you have a friends child potty trained 24 months doesn’t mean that your child will be ready then as well. All children reach the point of developmental readiness for potty training, but they do not all arrive at the same time.

The second tip is bladder readiness. During infancy, when the bladder fills to a certain level, your baby’s bladder muscles automatically contract, and releasing the urine. This isa reflex emptying, not a cognitive experience. Between 18-24 months, your child starts recognize the bladder pressure but don’t know what to do with it.Between 22-32 months, your child becomes aware that he or she can control the release of their urine. Night time bladder readiness usually requires more time to develop. Between 24-32 months most children achieve daytime bladder readiness, between 24-42 months most children reach nighttime bladder readiness.

The last tip is signs of readiness. Normally your children will starts to show signs after 24 months like they can stay dry for two or more hours at a time. Have regular bowel movements, wakes up from nap dry, stops an activity while urine and bowel movements. Wants to  imitate parents using the toilet. These are the signs to show your child is developmentally ready. When your child starts to have signs like can dress and undress themselves, have a name for urine and bowel movements, like poop, pee or potty.Theses are the signs to tell you your child is most likely ready and successful on potty training.
