Content: Once you and your child have moved to the next step of peeing in the potty instead of just sitting on it, or your child informs you when he needs to use the potty, get rid of diapers except during naptimes and bedtimes. Some children need to sense what an accident feels like to give them the incentive to use the potty. Diapers mask the feelings of wetness and cold. Take your child to the potty very regularly. Ask your child every 30 minutes if he needs to use the potty. If it's been a while since your child has urinated, point out that he will be rewarded for sitting on the potty. As your child learns to recognize the signals that he needs to use the toilet, he may begin to ask you to help him on the potty, and then you can elongate the times between trips. Have your child clean up her own messes if she is still having regular accidents after several days or a week of following your potty-training program. This action teaches the child the consequence of urinating or having a bowel movement outside the bathroom. Do not get angry or scold your child, because that will create a power struggle.
