Errors that are made in the process of removing the diaper

For many mothers and many fathers the process of removing the diaper it can be quite a challenge. But it should not be like that, in fact, parents should not do much more than guide their children in this process because it is something evolutionary that will go with the child's own maturity. There are children who are able to relieve themselves on the toilet at two years of age, while others up to almost 4 years old prefer the safety of the diaper, and nothing happens.

But it also happens that many mothers feel pressure when children go from kindergarten to school and it seems that suddenly the rush to achieve it begins. When the other classmates in the nursery begin to leave the diapers on the parents, anxiety enters them, will we be able to do it? It is a slow process that should not be forced, That is why it is necessary to take into account some of the mistakes that are usually made in order to avoid them from now on. Not making these mistakes is important so that the child feels the necessary motivation to achieve it, as long as they are mature enough.

Toilet training is an individual process for each child and the last thing to do is compare the rhythm of one child with that of another, let alone rush them! You have to observe the child and know if he is ready or not: if he differentiates that his diaper is dirty, if he is able to hold the pee for an hour (dry diaper), if he asks you to go pee in the "elder's toilet", and so on.

There are children who when they turn three show no interest in the toilet even though all his companions no longer have diapers. But all children learn to go to the toilet, do not be afraid that they will not succeed because with your guidance and your patience, they will. But so that the process does not slow down more than necessary or that the child does not feel confused, it is essential not to make some mistakes.

Obsessing over sphincters

Your child will achieve safe toilet training, do not obsess, just focus on guiding him to achieve it. You better wait for it to happen naturally. Chen your child is ready, everything will be very simple, If you obsess and try to get him to do it ahead of time, it can get frustrated and something that should happen naturally turns into a nightmare, for both of you.

Feeling that you fail as a mother

Mothers and fathers are in charge of guiding their children in all life processes, and in this one as well. Feeling like you're failing as a parent when other kids go to the bathroom before your child is not a good way to go. The truth is that each child has his own rhythm and he will mark the time for you. If you see him prepared, you can make him see the importance to go to the toilet and motivate him, but do not force him if you see that he is overwhelmed, you will not be failing him! Have you ever seen an adult wear diapers? Everyone learns it! It is natural!

Thinking there are no setbacks

Toilet training is achieved, but it is a long process and sometimes there may be setbacks. Some children do not learn to use the bathroom until they show interest, others take a while and others may relieve themselves because they do not control the toilet enough ... but the important thing is that each child learns over time and that your patience and affection will be key in this whole process.

See accidents as failures

Viewing children's peeing or pooping accidents as failures is a big mistake. It is not your failure, nor is it your children's. The feeling of anger or resentment should go away. Children can regress and have accidents in their underwear in unstable emotional moments and this is not a reason for frustration, but rather for understanding and support.

All children want to get out of diapers soon

No, this is not true. Every child will want to get out of diapers at some point, but it doesn't necessarily have to be anytime soon. Children with a lot of energy find it much more comfortable to wear diapers and not having to stop activities to go to the toilet. It is practical and simple, and they know it.

Not having patience

Patience is the key in this entire diaper change process. If you get nervous, get angry or recriminate him for having done himself, it is likely that the process of removing the diapers will take a long time and that you will both get frustrated, you because you expect more from your child and your child because they do not feel capable of doing it. what you are asking so insistently.

You better use persuasion, rewards, and have lots (lots!) Of spare clothes And then, I can assure you that you will get it, both of you. You too. You have to accept that there is no magic button for children to learn to control the toilet, there are times when children are simply not ready and you have to respect it.

Not buying enough underwear

When you start the process of putting off diapers, it is very important to have enough underwear so that the child always has a clean change to wear even if he has the occasional accident. Find underwear that you like and that is attractive, so that when you put it on you like it and feel good and comfortable wearing it.

Although they can give you guidance on how the process of removing a child's diapers should be, it cannot be generalized, nor should you be frustrated if what worked for your friend's child does not work for your child. Every boy and every girl is a different world and only you know if your child is ready or notregardless of whether you are 24 or 36 months old. Do not force and you will achieve it together.
