Potty preparation 2.5 yr former twin boys?
We potty trained our oldest when he was iii years old-- he's at nowadays 5 years old-- and I am thus create to cause got our toddlers potty trained equally well. However, my hubby together with I decided awhile agone that nosotros wouldn't potty educate our twin boys until they turned three. What led us to that decision?
When our get-go was a piffling guy, I dabbled inward potty training. I would pose him inward underwear at 18-months together with allow him experience what it was similar without a diaper. We brought him to the restroom amongst us together with worked on his "potty vocabulary." We encouraged him to endeavor to utilisation the restroom. We asked him when his diaper was total if he was stinky... on together with on. We never genuinely pushed the potty training, but nosotros highly encouraged it.
By the fourth dimension he turned three, he had decided that potty preparation was non for him. Diapers were great. I would inquire if he wanted to utilisation the potty together with he said, "No," every time. In fact, he never used the potty until nosotros genuinely made him potty train. But, when he was just by iii together with nosotros made him potty train, he exceeded the readiness listing (read "Why not?") together with nosotros potty trained him days together with nights all at once. Why non create it that way?
Our toddlers cause got thrown us a crease ball. While our oldest demonstrated cypher involvement inward potty training, our toddlers are super excited virtually it. They are ii together with one-half years quondam correct at nowadays together with love talking virtually the potty. They beloved when their older brother uses the potty. They beloved when nosotros are inward the bathroom, either to utilisation the restroom ourselves or to brush their teeth, accept a bath, whatever it is that brings us into the glorious restroom. They cause got used the restroom multiple times. One of them fifty-fifty told us-- on his ain initiative-- that he needed to utilisation the restroom for a larger component than merely tinkling. Our oldest would never cause got done that inward a meg years. In fact, when asked at the same age, he told me, "I've got my diaper."
Which brings us to about other large departure betwixt our oldest together with our ii toddlers. While D was likewise a belatedly talker, when he started talking, he genuinely started talking. Our toddlers are dragging inward their vocabulary. Right at nowadays they are playing together with talking together with I tin brand out virtually 20% of the words they are saying. When I'm involved inward what they are doing, non merely eavesdropping, I tin acquire that bring out to 50% or so. They are inward the midst of this stage where they throw fits virtually everything. At the commons the other day, ane of our toddlers threw an epic meltdown when I told him to halt touching things inward the park's populace restroom (ew, ew, ew, ew).
There are days when the toddlers milk tremble our resolve regarding putting off potty training. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 calendar week or thus ago, ane of our toddlers was obsessed amongst the restroom. He told us earlier he had to become potty, later he went potty, together with wanted his diaper changed if it was the slightest chip wet. When nosotros were changing a barely moisture diaper for him to run together with complete inward the potty, nosotros thought, "Should we?" We debated the pros together with cons, if nosotros wanted to or not. While nosotros come across many pros, the con-- their mightiness to communicate-- remains the same.
Which leads me dorsum to how nosotros potty trained our oldest. Yes, nosotros made him potty train. He was over iii years quondam together with literally demonstrated every bullet on the readiness listing (on every readiness listing I read). When nosotros kicked off the potty training, nosotros handed the responsibleness over to him. He became responsible for telling me the timer went off together with it was fourth dimension to try. He became responsible for going potty earlier nosotros left the house. He became responsible for telling me he had to become potty when nosotros were out together with thus nosotros had plenty fourth dimension to acquire to a restroom. He became responsible when he had accidents later he was potty trained. I don't come across the toddlers ascent to this occasion. I sentry them together with wonder, but at the halt of it, I don't come across them taking this on. I come across me pushing ii toddlers to try. I come across me cleaning upward accidents for weeks together with weeks amongst piffling progress. I come across a twelvemonth or to a greater extent than of over nighttime diapers together with just-in-case describe ups together with rug cleaner together with extra wearing clothing when nosotros acquire out the house. That is non how I desire to potty train.
And thus nosotros wait. We await together with allow them construct their potty vocabulary. We give them praise together with a care for when they inquire to utilisation the potty. We alter their diapers when they inquire together with brand certain to create clean upward stinky diapers correct away (not that anyone amongst a olfactory organ would travel able to tolerate a toddler inward a stinky diaper for to a greater extent than than thirty seconds anyways). We are viewing potty preparation inward a dissimilar light. Potty preparation is a procedure together with at that topographic point is a lot that builds upward to it. If nosotros learn them that using the potty is the halt finish together with the words they demand to know earlier switching to underwear all the time, they volition embrace what their utilisation is much to a greater extent than than throwing it all at them at once. If nosotros learn them to sympathize "no" together with "wait," together with then they volition cause got to a greater extent than command over themselves when nosotros can't access a bath forthwith or when nosotros enjoin them accidents tumble out but non ane time you lot are potty trained.
This is non to tell that I create non cause got a countdown until nosotros acquire our youngest two kids out of diapers: 5 or half dozen months. Now if solely nosotros could skip the whole "potty preparation process" together with restrain directly to iii potty trained kids. :)
(Note: nosotros did allow our oldest a stream of leniency when he was working on potty training. It is difficult to larn that it takes longer to acquire to a bath when you lot are at a grocery shop than at habitation or that sometimes Momma doesn't know where a bath is together with has to detect it, similar at a large mall. However, ane time he was potty trained, nosotros told him he needs to acquire inward to a bathroom. Again, nosotros made exceptions later large changes that initiated backsliding, similar when he was having problems amongst a corking at preschool together with things such equally that.)
