[blparent] potty training

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I tried with my daughter at two years old, and the attempt went down in 
flames.  When she was three and a half, she was trained in ten days, even at 
night, with only a couple of accidents since then.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Ronit, personally, I think you might wait a little longer. My sons were
older than this when they were trained; of course, they are now adults and I
don't remember back that far as to exactly when they were done. Our Hadley
Early years text discusses some of these things.

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
