Talk about a contentious topic. A million people have a million different ideas about baby potty training; from the 3 Day Potty Training Method to Dr. Phil to the diaper-free folks, everyone’s got an opinion. So, with all the conflicting information and tips, how can we tell what is the “right” way to potty train our children? And if we do it “incorrectly,” will it really have a lasting negative effect on our kids? Or is that just a bunch of, well, poopy? Our guest Jill Fehrenbacher of Inhabitots asks, “When is the right time to start potty training your child?”

At what age is a good age to start potty training a child?

I started potty training my daughter when she was 11 months old when she could walk she was fully potty trained and out of diapers when she was 1. So i say when they can walk and point they can pee and poop on the potty !!!Good Luck

LOL My son is "learning" hehe

Those songs are funny watching as an adult, but Im trying to hold in my laughter because my son is "learning"

" she’s a super dooper pooper !" <– one of the songs

I’ve noticed that the monitor was on after I finished singing the Sesame Street "You’ll do it! You’ll use the potty!" song at the very top of my lungs to my daughter on several occasions. The neighbors have the same monitor. Yeah.

My son, who is nearly 3 (in June) has been peeing in the toilet for about 3 months with very minimal accidents. Recently, he has started to urinate in inappropriate places on purpose (standing while peeing on beds, etc- not during nap times) and will announce "I’m going to pee on your bed". I’m thinking a reward chart may be helpful, but I’m not sure on the details. How many days before a reward, etc?


I used a chart for my son when potty training. I made it 4 row and 4 columns. Every time he peed in the potty he got a sticker on the chart and a sticker on his shirt. After he finished a row, I gave him a special treat (hot wheel car, fruit snacks, etc.). I actually just started it again because he is having trouble pooping in the potty (he wants a pull-up when he poops) so hopefully it works again!

Like these ones from Target

If you have, how well did they work?
Did they fold up easily?
What did you think of them?
Would you recommend them?

Thanks.

I have one for my daughter. It fits in my purse (medium size purse). It is great, she tells me she needs to go and she does not have to sit on the dirty toilet seat. They fold up easly my daughter can do it her self. and I would defiently recommend it. Great purchase.

Girls are usually easier, but I haven’t seen any research that explains why this is so. Additionally, fewer girls wet the bed, and again, nobody really knows why.

That said, there are some ways to address the undeniable differences in equipment between boys and girls when teaching potty etiquette:

* Let your child of the same sex see you do your business. I know, it’s annoying and a little degrading, especially when the bathroom should be the one place where you are fully entitled to just a few minutes of peace. But it’s so important to be a role model and take advantage of "teachable moments" — and there’s no better time for your child to see how it’s done than by watching mommy or daddy relieve him or herself. (I think it’s OK to ask a child of the opposite sex to stay on the other side of the door since there’s no inherent educational value.) Not only do kids want to emulate their similarly-gendered parents, but they’ll learn some valuable skills, such as: that girls need to wipe from front to back (stress the importance of this for health and hygiene’s sake)
* Promote "Nakedtime," because, even though it means your kids will pee on the floor (a reason to limit this activity to carpet-free zones), they’ll get a close-up view of the stuff that will eventually be going in the potty and where it comes from.
* Make it fun. Both boys and girls respond better when parents have a positive attitude about the process. Let them go with you to select a potty — and of course, to purchase their first pairs of superhero briefs or princess panties.
