A close mate of mine swears that someone can potty train their child in about 48 hours. Now I have a kid and I had serious doubts that someone could start and finish potty training in about two days. I mean it sounds impossible right? It had already taken me over two days to persuade my child that the potty wasn't actually a monster that was trying to swallow her whole.
My mate told me that it was a matter of seeing the expression on their face - "they receive a glance on their faces".
My mate made it sound all simple. "Just put them on the potty right before they must tinkle." He said this as if knowing when a child desired to make use of the toilet was like second nature. He could sense it. So I gave in and asked "Okay so exactly how do you do that?"
This was a new to me. I knew about the look a child gets on their face when they are doing something naughty - every parent knows that like the back of their own hand. But this other look my mate was speaking about....this was new.
So he explained that her son gets a kind of glazed look on his face before they needs to go to the toilet. Now this instantly didn't ring any bells with me but I attempted thinking back to see if it made any sense. Had my daughter ever had "that" look on her face?
As my mate explained "I'd see that look on his face and knew what was coming next. Within two days they realized that this was what needed to be done".
So I began to think where I had gone wrong. My mate saw the look on my face and said "You probably started young?" Tiny did he know that I'd been trying for months to potty train my tiny girl.
He smiled at me slyly and said "Oh they was over four years old".
"How elderly was your son when you started potty training", I asked.
Now it all made sense.
So the time has come to start the whole toilet training routine with your child eh? This is one thing that most parents fear more than anything else. But it need not be a chore that you can get a lot of potty training tips if you click here.
