Medical Video: 10 Warning Signs Your Heart Isn't Working Properly
Children are still difficult to control the urge to urinate so they often wet themselves. To overcome this, parents need to wear diapers. But with age, children certainly need to stop using diapers and switch to using the toilet. When should you teach your child to urinate in the toilet? Don't worry, you can see the child's readiness to practice using the toilet (toilet training) in the following review.
When do children begin to be taught toilet training?
Through the age of 18 months, most children are able to control the feeling of wanting to urinate. Therefore, toilet training usually applied when a child is two years old. However, not all children will be ready at the same time. It could be that the new child is ready for toilet training at the age of 3 or 4 years.
Apart from the age side, parents must also be observant to see the child's readiness. The reason is, the more ready the child to use the toilet, the more smoothly the training process will be. Of course this will make it easier for you, right? Conversely, if the child is not ready and does it forcibly, this exercise can make the child depressed and stressed.
Signs the child is ready to practice using the toilet
In addition to age standards, signs that children are ready to take part in training using the toilet need to be considered by parents, including:
1. Interested in potty, tissue, or toilet
To train children to use the toilet, you need a bedpan as a preliminary experiment. If you see your child interested in a potty, this can be a sign of children's readiness. You can see your child's interests, such as touching, playing, or trying to sit on a bedpan.
When you take a child to the toilet and catch a child watching how the flow of water in the toilet, trying to squeeze or touch a roll of tissue, this is a sign of children's interest in toilet training.
2. Physical and communication ready
Not only mental readiness, your child's physical development also needs to be noticed. Sitting on a bed requires motor skills that are still developing at the age of children. If you still can't sit balanced or unsteady, don't start training.
Children's physical readiness can also be observed from their diapers. If during the daytime the child's diaper is still dry, it's a sign that the muscles around the bladder are working better.
Don't forget, toilet training also requires child communication skills. If he can express his desire to urinate, then the child is able to control the urge to urinate.
3. Already showing independence
Teaching children to urinate in the toilet means teaching children to be independent. If you have shown independence, such as wanting to choose or trying to dress yourself, being able to raise or lower your own pants, toilet training becomes easier.
