It also stimulates him to want to urinate. -
Step 2: Place a bucket or potty half filled with water on the floor in the bathroom; this way it will be easier to make the transition to the actual toilet.
, Have the older boy throw some dry cereal that floats (3 or 4 pieces)into the water and demonstrate urinating to sink the cereal.
Don't stay in the bathroom
- but allow this to be a boy thing. , Allow your toddler to watch the cereal to go down. , Lift your son's shirt and tell him to dunk the cereal.
He will probably get it right away and giggle in delight as he dunks the cereal. , This is very interesting to a small toddler. ,, Accompany him into the bathroom every half hour to see if he needs to use the bathroom.
Every time he does it
- which he will most likely be delighted to do, reward him by letting him watch it be flushed down the toilet.
If he has an accident while he is bare bottomed
- never scold him
- just say, "oh oh you missed the potty." Then take his hand and walk him to the bucket or potty and remind him that he makes potty only in here.
Say, "tell ma-ma if you need to use the potty, OK?"
