Gerber Toilet Seats

They each had a pair of accidents at night and we had a few more sheet changes with our son, but on the whole experience less traumatic than I am about to. We have done the following with our children. Follow these tips and hopefully they will work for you.
1. Follow the signs. If your child wakes up dry from a nap or at night for at least a couple of weeks is an important clue to start potty training. There are many reasons to "ignore" or do not want to "see" signs that the presence of your spouse, relative or in our case a pre-school teacher throwing cold water on your face can really help. I was eight months pregnant when teachers of our preschool son said that you must train pot now. I thought to myself are you crazy? " I can barely sit, let alone a child on a potty. "I thought I'd wait until after the baby is born. I had been picked up from nursery school and put a layer / pull-ups because I do not want to be unnecessarily cleaning a car seat. After having been severely warned by teachers not to do, I ended up putting a towel in his car seat in case.
2. Stay consistent. When you are a child to become clean Remember to take your child for the pot at least every 2-3 hours during the day. After a few weeks you will begin to see the time between visits pot decrease. We found that most accidents have occurred if we forgot to take them to the potty or are afraid to take them to the pot when they were doing fun things for fear of kicking and screaming inevitable.
3. Morning and evening. When they wake up (even if it's dawn and you'd be better shout out loud as to take them to the potty) put on the pot. Although they refuse to leave, this will get them associating time in the morning, with time, clean and show them that it's OK to get up to go to the cleanliness of bedwetting. Same goes for the night. Put the pot on the right before going to bed so they create the association even night time as well.
4. Read a book designated pot. One of the things that have worked well for us with our son has been the identification of a pound jar. In fact, I am the council Keys to Toilet Training by Meg crackers. Every night when we put on the pot, we read the same book to him. As it was (and still is) an active, make him sit on the pot for any length of time was difficult. He loved reading the book pot "and because he was sitting over there more often used the pot! This technique does not work so well with our daughter because she was fast enough to go if she did not need to be entertained for long. Must be something daughter (in other words, we are less inclined to read newspapers and magazines, sitting on the toilet that the guys are!)
5. Encourage and reward. It is very important that you encourage and reward your child to go to pot. You can do this with hugs, create a chart, snacks, activities and toys with our kids, we used a table that we put smiley faces on when they went to pot and sad faces if they had an accident. The table gave them a visual to see how they are progressing and that the act of drawing a smiley face we make them so proud and happy! We have also embraced them, gave them high 5, struck, and sometimes gave them a snack of fruit Gerber deal. When they went several days without an accident, they get to do something fun, get treatment, or better yet chosen their own Spiderman or Dora the Explorer underwear!
Every child is different, try these tips and come with your own that fit your unique situation. We used these boards and has achieved fairly good pot-training. Now, do not ask me for advice about sleeping baby because I'm still trying to figure them out!
