[blparent] potty training

[Star Gazer]

A couple things that worked for us was that I could hear a difference in my
daughter's voice and she moved differently. 
Basically find behaviors that are nonvisual that you can pick up on. Also,
realize that this method and/or this period in time may not work for you.
Nothing wrong with that.

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
