That increases the likelihood of success. Alternatively, begin by \n letting her run around the house for a few days without any pants on. Offer to remind her every hour to \n try using the potty. This will help her learn to interpret the signals her body is giving to her. \n Share what you're doing and how you're doing it with the other caregivers in your child's life, such as \n babysitters and grandparents. That way your child will have consistent expectations and support, which will \n make things easier. \n Never leave your child in wet or soiled diapers as a way of \"training\" her. That only makes matters worse.","bbox":{"left":0.094118,"top":0.027214,"width":0.868348,"height":0.15812700000000002}},{"text":"","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.108291,"width":0.0074860000000000065,"height":0.015407000000000004}},{"text":"","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.167533,"width":0.0074860000000000065,"height":0.015407000000000004}},{"text":"3.

It's also a good idea to praise him whenever he tells \n you he has to use the potty, even if you've just asked him the question. \n Expect him to make mistakes, especially in the beginning. Don't get angry; that will just make things take \n longer. If he resists trying something new, it probably means he's not ready yet. Simply back off and try \n again in a few days or even weeks. \n Once your child has been successful for a few days, start making the switch to underwear. Some children \n feel more secure in diapers or training pants; others can't wait for \"big boy\" or \"big girl\" underwear. Let \n your child's reaction guide you in how quickly you make the change. \n Remember that some young children are frightened by the sound and actions of a flushing toilet. If he's \n bothered by it, don't force him to flush; do it after he leaves the room. That fear usually goes away in a \n few months.","bbox":{"left":0.094118,"top":0.240421,"width":0.862287,"height":0.21753300000000003}},{"text":"","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.281965,"width":0.0074860000000000065,"height":0.015407000000000004}},{"text":"","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.341359,"width":0.0074860000000000065,"height":0.015407000000000004}},{"text":"","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.400602,"width":0.0074860000000000065,"height":0.015407000000000004}},{"text":"Be consistent with preparation, learning and reinforcement, and you will be surprised how soon you will get rid of \n those diapers for good!","bbox":{"left":0.035294,"top":0.475636,"width":0.9283129999999999,"height":0.03946500000000003}},{"text":"When you know they are ready","bbox":{"left":0.035294,"top":0.527606,"width":0.25796,"height":0.019768000000000008}},{"text":"1.","bbox":{"left":0.064706,"top":0.56503,"width":0.012353000000000003,"height":0.019768000000000008}},{"text":"Child takes pride in accomplishments and likes some independence","bbox":{"left":0.094118,"top":0.56503,"width":0.5455099999999999,"height":0.019768000000000008}},{"text":"This shows emotionally, they would be prepared for something like potty training.
