How Often Should I Take My Toddler To The Potty? There Are Some Guidelines To Follow
Content: According to Becoming the Parent You Want To Be by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser, it's common for children to go back and forth — somedays preferring diapers, and other days selecting to use the toilet. They recommended thinking of "accidents" as "opportunities." Pantley also suggested visiting new restrooms when you're on the go. Frequent visits to toilets far and near may help habituate your child to independent toilet use. Keep in mind that not all children will want to use strange bathrooms, and don't force anything. Davis and Keyser stressed the importance of keeping your own emotions in check throughout the toilet training process. The bottom line: when it comes to potty time, there's no magic number, but it's a good idea to take your toddler to the toilet often. Begin by following a schedule — morning pee, before nap time pee — and remember to look for signs that they're holding it. You can only take your child to the bathroom too much if it begins to feel stressful or punitive.
