3 Day Potty Training
Assess your child’s Readiness skills
• Most people begin toilet training when their child is about 2 ½ years old Some may be ready earlier Some may not be ready until later Girls are usually potty trained before boys
• Signs to watch for: Imitating others’ bathroom habits Holding themselves Dancing around Unable to focus on task at hand
Buy The Right Equipment
• Invest in a child-sized potty or a special seat that attaches to your regular toilet– Make sure the child is
secure and stable
• Before beginning . . . pick up an explanatory video or picture book to get the child interested
Create A Routine
• Set the child on the potty Fully Clothed once a day– After breakfast– Before a bath
• This will allow the child to get used to the potty and accept it as part of a daily routine
• If child doesn’t want to sit on it:– Don’t force the issue– Don’t restrain the child or
pressure the child to sit
Ditch The Diaper
• Now set the child on the potty seat without a diaper and pants– Explain that this is how BIG people
go potty (undressing before you sit down)
• Some choose to put their child in under ware for a day and closely monitor them
• Some choose to let the child walk around without anything on (no diaper/pull-up/under ware)
Explain The Potty Process• Show the child where the bowel
movements go
• If they go potty in a diaper or under ware . . . Bring to the potty Empty into potty Sit them down and explain this is
where we go potty
• After you have done this, have the child flush the toilet to let the child see where it goes
• Show the child that they then should pull up pants and ALWAYS wash their hands when done
Foster Independence• Encourage the child to use the
potty whenever he feels the urge to go
• Assure the child that he can tell you when he needs to go and you’ll help him
• If possible, allow the child to run around without clothing on from the waist down and keep the potty nearby
• Remind the child occasionally that the potty is there if he needs it– The child may forget!
Introduce Night Training• Even though a child may be clean and dry all day
long, it might take longer to master night training• Use diapers or pull-ups for overnight use, and you
may need a plastic mattress cover to minimize clean-up from overnight messes
• You can help cut down on wet nights by not letting the child drink too much before bedtime
• Ask the child to call you if he/she wakes up and needs to go potty
• You may also leave the potty close to his/her room or bed
