\"Child
The first and golden rule here, as in many other areas of child rearing, is that you should not force a baby to get used to the potty.<\/p>\n

Your child will stop using nappies, it's just a matter of when this will happen.

All children want to grow up and become adults, so in time they will understand that all grown-ups and adults do not use nappies.<\/p>\n

You can start potty training at around 1 \u00bd years of age, but this should be sporadic and you should not expect your child to stop needing nappies within a few months.<\/p>\n

It would be completely wrong to set yourself a time frame in which it has to be \"done\". This only leads to pressure building up.<\/p>\n

To make things more attractive, you can let the child choose their own potty, which they may initially only sit on in playful situations.<\/p>\n

Potty training can also be a great topic for play with dolls.<\/p>\n

Many toddlers already know exactly what \"wee-wee\" and \"poo-poo\" are, but still only realise that they have to go when they have already done so.<\/p>\n

You can remind them before they go to bed, after dinner or before you leave the house. This will get them used to paying attention to the issue.<\/p>\n

If your child has actually done something in the potty, praise is appropriate. Conversely, there should be no scolding if this is not the case. Not even if it doesn't happen once in months.<\/p>\n

It is also always a question of the child's willingness to start taking the potty seriously. Negative reactions in no way increase the willingness to do so.<\/p>\n

Training nappies are a good idea, especially in summer, when it is not necessary to wear other items of clothing over them. If they have a waistband instead of a Velcro fastener, the child can decide when to pull the nappy up and down. This is particularly successful with children who like to be very independent and want to decide everything themselves.<\/p>\n

If you have the feeling that your child refuses every attempt to sit on the potty, you should leave it untried for a while and start training again later.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you can set a good example and take your child to the toilet when you go yourself, but without making any further comments on the subject to put pressure on them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
