Dealing with Common Potty Training Problems

May 25, 2016 by Abigael Matthews

Potty training isn’t often easy. Some young children may go through the process pretty much effortlessly, however for others there are potty training problems that are experienced. A number of these problems are very typical and there are methods to fix them. Initially, let us talk about the child that’s insistent regarding not using the potty and resists your every efforts to persuade them. They might even cry or even throw fits when placed on their potty seat. And, they might not sit for more than a few seconds without attempting to get up.

This is the perfect illustration of a young child that’s not prepared to potty train. Numerous parents believe there’s a magic age when their child ought to be trained. Pediatric recommendations express the average age is between 18 and 36 months, however your child might train sooner or later than this. For reasons uknown, boys seem to train later compared to girls. So, even if your child is nearing 36 months do not worry. They will reveal their readiness which is the proper time to begin. This may start asking to put on underwear, requesting to use the potty or seeming eager when you talk about the topic of potty training with them.

For the child who’s a little reluctant, allow them to pick out their very own potty chair. This certainly makes them more likely to make use of it. And, allow them to choose the underwear they like. This can be a motivation for them to keep their training pants clean by using the toilet, simply because they understand once they get the procedure down pat they can wear the underwear they’ve selected. Girls may take notice of the bathroom routines of older sisters or even their mom, while boys can observe older brothers or their dad as a learning example.

Another one of the most typical but less covered of potty training problems is holding in bowel movements. Your son or daughter may have no problem peeing in their training pants, or even the toilet. However they might hesitate at the concept of going ‘number two’ in the toilet. This might lead to them holding their bowels in an attempt to avoid it. This may lead to blockages and difficult, unpleasant bowel movements. For the more serious cases, doctors occasionally prescribe safe laxatives or enemas to force bowel movements. Whatever the issues you’re going through while potty training your child, take heart in the understanding that ultimately, your son or daughter is going to be fully potty trained.
