With the advent of disposable diapers, the problem of accustoming to a pot stopped to be so acute. Mom had to several times a day to dress up the kids in dry clothes, which in turn had to be washed by hand, because there were no washing machines at that time either. It is worth imagining this heap of dirty clothes, appearing daily, and it becomes clear how important it was to start teaching the children to the pot as early as possible. Around the pot, real passions were played out: the kids resisted, mothers insisted. And without tears on both sides could not do. Fortunately, these times have passed. Everything became very convenient and simple. But you will not keep the baby in diapers all the time. Sometime time comes Ch.
When is it time?
Most mothers every day wonder how to teach the child to ask for a pot. But in fact, nothing criminal in the early training of crumbs to the pot is not. If it is not about coercion and punishment for the fact that the kid does not do his work where necessary. Such mockery is unlikely to pass without a trace for the child's psyche. Accustoming the child to the pot is rather an unobtrusive invitation to use this "interior item". Kids are introduced to the pot so that it does not confuse it with other toys and correctly classifies it. Periodically, he can even use it for the intended purpose. But mothers should know that until a certain age, this is just an acquaintance, and not a "real friendship". Until physiologically and psychologically it is ripe before, hope for a lasting success is not worth it. The older the baby, the quicker, simpler and painless it is to get used to the pot. And the most appropriate for this time pediatricians call the period from 18 to 24 months of crumbs. Why is that? It turns out that it is at this age that the child has a final ripening of the areas responsible for conscious control over the work of his own body.
What's happening?
So, it is asked, why can a kid, up to a year, identify Mom and Dad, distinguish colors, know how "say" a cat and a dog, and does not perceive the pot at all? It may seem to us that these are whims or even a desire to make mom and dad sick, to show character, but this is not so. Up to one and a half years the kid can not control the work of his bladder. In other words, he can not tolerate, if he wants to go to the toilet, he does not even think that this can and should be done. It just happens. And if adults start scolding a crumb for what he "did again wrong", the kid does not understand what he did wrong. And learns only one thing: "I'm bad, so they scold me." And certainly he does not connect this with the fact that he stained his panties.
How to understand that the baby is ready for training?
Be attentive to your baby, and you will notice when he is ready for a number of signs. By the way, pediatricians believe that there are gender differences in this issue. Thus, it is noted that girls ripen earlier, and are able to control the work of the intestine from 12-18 months, while in boys this process can be observed in the period from 18 to 30 months of life. A sign of willingness to go to the pot are:
Exercise of the intestine in the child occurs regularly and on a predictable schedule.
The baby's diaper stays dry after a walk, sleep - at least 2 hours in a row.
Kroha understands what happens to him when he does his business - he grunts, crouches with urination and defecation.
The kid already knows how to climb on low surfaces, take off his clothes and speak so well to express his desire to go to the toilet.
The child demonstrates when the diaper is wet, asks him to change.
Expresses a desire to use a pot, wear underwear, "as big."
Seeing these signs, try to gently offer the child to use the pot. And praise for the demonstrated skill!
