Child and infant development experts made recommendations for parents to prepare their children for toilet training. Child and infant development specialists say that "education in infants and children should be started if the child or baby is willing. If the child is reluctant, education should not be forced. Education can be started before the age of two, although it is rare, if the child or infant is willing. Toilet training in children is usually given when they are 28 months old. ' they said.
Referring to the fact that toilet training is a challenging process, baby and child experts said, “Despite everything, parents should talk to children in a constructive language. Giving this education by comparison affects the mental and physical development of children. Toilet training is when the child realizes that the baby is going to the toilet without anyone's help and goes to the toilet. It is not that the mother or father understands that their child's toilet is coming and sends him to the toilet by warning him. The right moment for toilet training in children is 2 years old. Because the functions of the organs related to the excretory system are usually completed towards 48 months. Before this age, even if he feels that the children's toilet is coming, he has not gained skill. Physical and mental development must be completed in order for your child to realize that the toilet is coming, to be able to hold and go after reaching the toilet, and for the signals between the kidney, abdominal muscles, bladder and brain to go back and forth.
"If your child has started walking and can use simple sentences, he is ready for toilet training"
Child and baby development experts continued their words as follows: “First of all, you should observe your child's cognitive and physical development, evaluate the behaviors that can be considered as signs for you, and choose the right time. If your child has started walking, can make simple sentences, and can show parts of his face such as nose, ears and eyes, he is suitable for toilet training. If your child can go to different parts of your home by himself; Your child is ready for toilet training if he can imitate you in simple tasks such as cleaning the house, preparing the table, can bring an object when you want, can make your child go to the toilet several times a day instead of repeatedly, can express the need to go to the toilet with his facial expressions and behavior, and can express his discomfort with the diaper. For training, a suitable time should be chosen when there are no family problems such as moving, illness, divorce and similar. It would be appropriate to say that you will start such an education by making eye contact with your child when he/she can listen to you, for example, at a pleasant time when he/she wakes up. A seat can be bought together, or the device can be installed on the toilet at home. An additional riser can be placed under his feet so that he can stand comfortably on the ground. It will make your job easier to prepare a proper environment for toilet training for your child”.
"You should ignore it when your child unintentionally goes under the toilet"
Child and baby development experts, who stated that a child in his age group who has completed toilet training can be observed, said, “Do you want to make your toilet into a toilet like you? What do you say?" You can encourage behavior example sentences such as By throwing the diaper in the trash with your child; You can take the first successful step with your child's approval by saying, "You're grown now, let's sit on the toilet?" It may react initially, it should not be forced. You may be given a toy. Short stories can be read for 10-15 minutes. When he unintentionally makes his toilet under his feet, he should not be punished and should be ignored. Otherwise, the child may develop a sense of guilt. When the child goes to the toilet on his own, it should definitely be appreciated. Praise should generally be rewards of a spiritual nature. The reward may be a warm kiss, clap, hug, play, go to the park. Praise reinforces good behavior. It helps to develop a sense of confidence. After the toilet teaching is completed, the habit of cleaning should be taught at the age of 4-5. The best cleaner for cleaning is water. It is not recommended to use soap and cleaning wipes as they will irritate the inner skin.
"Back to diapers after starting toilet training will delay learning"
Emphasizing that children can sometimes get under the toilet, Child and Baby Development Specialists said, “Going back to diapers will delay learning. When the toilet training process starts, it should not be diapered at night. Napping will give the following message to the child. “I am taking precautions. You can make your toilet under it.” This will confuse your child and create a contradiction. Small touches to our eating habits during the education process will make things easier. Plenty of fluids should be given during the day, watery foods (milk, fruit juice, etc.) should not be given late in the evening, fluids should be stopped at least 2 hours before sleep. He should be encouraged to go to the toilet every 3-4 hours during the day. You can use a bed that you sacrificed when starting the training. Or you can put a mattress protector under the sheet without your child seeing it. It is a wrong attitude to speak with the imperative mood. "Let's go to the toilet quickly" instead of "Let's see if you have a toilet, shall we sit down?" Using sentences such as these will help your child grasp it quickly in the educational process. Punishment behaviors such as making accusatory words, intimidating, banning from the activities they like will delay learning and disrupt the relationship between you. Comparing with another person may cause jealousy in the child, and the relationship with the compared baby and child may deteriorate. All these negative approaches will hinder the development of your child's sense of trust. It will cause retardation of mental, social, emotional and physical development. For this reason, always attach importance to establishing soft sentences in communication with your child.
