Individual characteristics

Accustom the child to the potty - a long but simple process, with its own characteristics. It all depends on the age of the child and the assertiveness of parents. According to Dr. Komarovsky, deliberately to control urination fidget starts with a 2.5-3 years. However, the doctor also contends that the kids can make some strides in a year and a half, and even in 6 months. Every child is different, the sooner parents begin to teach him to pee on the potty the better.

Where to start?

Familiarity with the pot should start gradually. Initially, it may interest the child as a toy.

Parents should remember that fidget will never learn to pee in the potty, if you'll be wearing a diaper. Without the wet panties, and tights can not do, even with a great desire. Completely abandon diapers in the first stage is unrealistic, since no one is immune from "unexpected situation" on the street, at a party, on the road, etc. However, at home it is better to reduce their use to a minimum.

No need to wait two or three years, a year and a half is the perfect age to get rid of the diapers, not immediately, gradually, the child will make its first step towards independence. If fidget shows clear dissatisfaction, crying, and expressly disclaims acquaintance with the "new friend" - it is better to wait.
