[blparent] potty training

[Ronit Ovadia Mazzoni]

Hi everyone,
We have just started potty training our 27 month old son and we are using the method described in the ebook "oh crap potty training." Basically this method advocates letting the child be naked for a while while you teach them to go to the potty and then move on to pants but no underwear. One of the big concepts that they stress is looking for signals that they need to go so you can prompt them to get on the potty. I'm finding this very challenging since it is mostly a visual thing and mostly subtle. My husband has picked up on a few things since he is sighted but when I am alone with Alex, I am finding that I only know he's had an accident after he goes. Sometimes my husband can catch it right before it happens and rush him to the potty but I never can. Does anyone have any techniques for figuring out these signals in a non visual way?
Thanks so much.
Ronit
