Every effort made to potty train Janson seems to have failed. 8-)
Today, after being woken up by some noise, I got up and went to Janson who was standing near the toilet. Mah-mah was in the toilet, filling the bath tub with water to bathe Janson. She told me that he just poopooed something small and hard on the floor of the kitchen. Then, mah-mah came out of the toilet and Janson went in, waiting to get into the bath tub. Suddenly, I could see his face changing, as if trying to push something out!
'AIYAK!' I shouted when I saw something hard on the ground. It was the size of a sausage, only shorter and slightly bigger!
Janson cried. I was shocked.
He was actually frightened to see an object dropping off while he had his pants on but not his diapers. Quickly, I went to hug him while stroking his head and apologised profusely, saying sorry to him a few times.
Some people have suggested that one of the ways to potty train is a toddler is to let him go without a diaper but with a loose shorts or pants on. Then, let him poopoo or wee-wee freely. If possible, watch out for the 'I-got-to-go' sign. Of course there are many 'tips' out there on potty training but I guess there is no one proven method that works for every child.
I just took a 'Potty Training: Is Your Child Ready' quiz. A para of the result reads:
The average child cannot be successfully toilet trained before the age of 28 months. While girls are often trained by age two, boys may not be trained before three or later. Of course, there are always exceptions.
