The first step to potty training is the realization on the child s part that going to the bathroom in a diaper is an un-pleasurable experience. If they enjoy their present condition, then there is no motivation to use the toilet. One way to accomplish this is to use the feel wet diapers. These are the diapers which become soggy when they are soiled, instead of absorbing it. When they have a wet diaper then look sternly at them, while saying no , and walking towards the training toilet.
Most children have a pattern as to when they go to the bathroom.
Some go after they play, most go when they wake up, or other intervals such as those. In order to establish the pattern of using the toilet, you must first have successful experience. So whenever the interval at which the child usually goes to the bathroom approaches, take the child and sit them on the toilet. Have a powerful reinforcement on hand such as chocolate, fruit, or a very nice toy. Food is the best reinforcement because it is immediate gratification.
