Potty-training for baby boys

Key points for successful potty-training for boysPotty-training for boys, which moms often don't understand. Many moms are in a state of being overwhelmed, saying, "I don't know how to teach!" ?? What is the difference between boys and girls? This time, we will introduce how to proceed with potty-training for boys with a high success rate, points, and what to do if things go wrong.When did the boys potty-training start?When it comes to potty-training, the most confusing thing is when to start. When a child is a boy, it is said that it is more difficult for a boy to understand the "feeling of peeing" due to the difference in body structure between men and women. Therefore, it seems that the start of potty-training may be delayed or take longer than that of girls. I will explain the points about when to start potty-training for boys.When to start potty-trainingIt is recommended that you be 2-3 years old when you start potty-training. With that time in mind, consider the following:<Estimated time to start potty-training>- You child can walk by himself.- He can to speak words clearly.- The pee interval for more than 2 hours.It is a sign that potty-training is possible when these three can be done. I think that training will be possible around the age of two, but the points of start are the degree of growth and motivation of the child, and the availability of mom's hands. If your younger child is born and you can't handle it easily, you should stagger the time until you are 3-4 years old. Generally, it is said that if you start early, such as 1 year old, it will take time, and if you start late, such as 3-4 years old, the training will end in a short period of time.How to practice potty-training for boysI will explain the actual toilet training method in 5 steps.Step 1. Teach about the toiletFirst of all, let's tell you what kind of place the toilet is. The space of the toilet is an unknown world for small children. Even if you take it without knowing anything, you may be surprised at the loud noise of flowing water and the large hole in the toilet seat and recognize it as a scary place. However, children aged 1 to 2 cannot understand it even if they explain it in words, so gradually make it familiar by reading picture books on the toilet, showing videos for potty-training, and playing with dolls. The point is to go. It's a good idea to naturally incorporate this into your play without being aware of potty-training. It's a great success if you want to go to the bathroom yourself while having fun playing.Step 2. Go to the bathroom and let them sitLet your child sit in the bathroom when they are interested. You don't have to go out. No child will be able to do it right away. For the time being, I will start by practicing sitting. Choose a potty or an auxiliary toilet seat to suit your lifestyle. You can sit in the bathroom even if you don't go out, but it's not good to sit for a long time. Moms tend to wait for it because it's about to come out, but it takes a couple of minutes at the longest for children to concentrate and sit down. Please note that if it gets longer than this, you may dislike the toilet. At first, while watching the timing, I will ask you to go to the bathroom every two hours, before taking a bath, before going to bed, etc. immediately after waking up in the morning. However, it is bad to talk to when you are concentrating on playing. I think the toilet is a hindrance to play. If you can do it in the bathroom a little, change from diapers to pants.Step 3. Try on training pants or regular pantsWhen peeing and pooping in the bathroom is successful about once every two times, it's time to put on your pants. Of course, it will fail at first, but it is a necessary step to let people know that "If you fail, your pants will get dirty and you will feel uncomfortable."The best time to start wearing pants is when your mom can afford it. For at least a week, clean up the toilet and leaks, be prepared to be swayed by the laundry, and be prepared with plenty of time. On busy days, don't force yourself into pants, but use diapers. At first it fails many times. Mama is hard and she gets frustrated when she's leaked when she's busy, but don't scold her.Step 4. Stand up and let him use the toiletThis is a problem with boys' toilets. It's hard to teach because it's hard to tell just by saying it in words. Trying to explain in words can confuse the child's mind. That's when dad and grandfather come in. It's best to have them show you how they stand and teach you. When mom teaches, the point is to stick your hips forward and hold it in your hand to aim. At first, let's push the area around the waist and bring it so that the adult can aim. If you can't, you don't have to teach at home. You will be able to do it naturally by seeing your friends standing in Kindergarten.Step 5. Poop trainingMany children find it difficult to succeed in pooping even if they can pee in the bathroom. Some children say they want to make diapers because they want to poop. Think of poop training as time consuming. However, in fact, it is a characteristic of poop that you can get it quickly if you succeed. In the case of poop, the feeling you want to put out is easy to understand, and it will not come out immediately, so if you feel confident that you can do it in the bathroom, you will succeed immediately. At that time, even if you sit on the toilet seat with your feet not fixed in place, you will not be able to do it well because you will not be able to apply force. It would be nice to have a springboard.In order not to fail in potty-trainingMany boys are particular about it, and sometimes they don't care about a little thing and training doesn't proceed. Sometimes the toilet is scary, so it's a good idea to decorate the toilet space brightly with your child's favorite characters, cars, trains, and so on. The biggest secret to success is for moms to sit comfortably. No child can do well from the beginning. Also, please be aware that trying to achieve the goals set by adult standards, such as "By the time you enter the kindergarten," can cause stress. Observe and face your child, not the deadline.Boys' potty-training needs not impatient, just relax! The secret to successful potty-training is, after all, to keep your family relaxed and relaxed. Often, if things go wrong, you can stop and then take the opportunity to restart. Believe that "I'm sure you will be able to do it someday!" And proceed with the training with a relaxed feeling.
