Some children start very early with potty training, when they’re about 18 months old, while others are not even ready till they’re 3. But usually, most parents begin training their child when he is about 2 and a half years of age.Buy a right-sized, comfortable potty chair for your child. Buy one with attractive colors and a fun shape, so your child would like to sit on it and explore it. You can pick one from a wide variety available here. If you’re buying a potty chair for your son, look for one without a urine guard or one with a removable one so as to avoid scraping his penis.Follow a routine. Potty training should be done once in the morning and once in the afternoon, every day. Parents have to sit patiently with the toddler for a few hours in order to train him. Demonstrate the process for your kid in a subtle way. He’ll learn faster by imitation, when things are shown to him.The habit of pooping in the potty chair should be fostered in your child. Explain to him, and teach him, that big kids and grown ups use only the toilets and potty seats to go potty. The next time he feels the urge to poop, he should ask one of his parents to help him on the potty chair.A toddler is still very immature, physically, to realize if he has to go poop or pee in the potty chair at night. So, the bed-wetting at night may continue even after your child is fully potty trained for the day-time.Make your child go to the washroom at night before bed time, and put a plastic sheet on his mattress, under the bed-sheet beneath him to avoid letting the mattress wet. Bed protector sheets come in attractive colours, various sizes and prints. Make him wear an underwear instead of a diaper and ask him to let you know when he feels like pooping at night.
