Why a child refuses to go to the potty and how to accustom him to it, read our article.
1. You should not start potty training before your child has learned to control the urination process. Dr. Komarovsky insists that before 18 months, you should not teach your child to go to the potty.
Doctor Komarovsky:
The road to the pot is full of tears, childish screams, labor and frustration, but only when you hit the road too early.
2. When is the best time to potty train a child?
The best time is summer. If a child has forgotten to ask for a potty, there is no risk that he will catch a cold.
And in summer it's easy to change your child's clothes.
3. If you know your child well, you've probably already looked into the signs that he is going to the bathroom. Seize these moments and be sure to praise your child for a successful ending.

4. Do not force your child to sit on the potty for a long time. It is ineffective if the baby's bladder is empty.
5. Opt for regular organic plastic pots. "Creative" pots will be perceived by the child as a toy.
6. Never scold your child for potting mistakes.
7. Use role play to potty train your child. For example, show your child how a bear or doll walks on a pot.
8. During potty training, wear comfortable clothes that he can easily remove himself.
