In the child, these types of achievements, such as pissing only on the potty, are temporary, and should continue to work for a few years.
Parents are often frustrated when their child succeeds in peeing on the potty again. Sometimes it is difficult to guess why and how to approach it. We are going to know the reasons for this setback and what parents can do to face the unexpected situation.
The child who no longer wears a diaper
Parents who have managed to take away the diaper your child are extremely happy and consider that this important task has been solved successfully. Not in all cases it is something simple. It is common for parents to be prepared for that moment but the child is not and that is when the process is delayed in time. The child must be emotionally mature to cope with the process otherwise it will be fruitless.
In a rational way, parents must understand that this type of achievement is temporary. Up to 5 or 6 years the child may have setbacks and it does not mean that things have been done wrong, however it happens. Parents should not despair and avoid reprimanding him by telling him that he is no longer a baby or that he is old enough to do depending on what things. Parents have to be there and support him without making the child anxious.
The boy without a diaper who pees again
Sometimes pissing on himself is a wake-up call, expressing that he wants to have more pampering and contact with his parents.
The action of what the child pees again it may be because he is not ready yet and refuses or due to other specific circumstances. However it will happen for several years. The child will go without a diaper although he may pee on himself and get out of control for some time. At this time and as parents, you have to find the most comfortable solution for the child.
Although it is true that it is said that once the diaper has been removed, it is advisable not to put it back on. But this is not a fixed law. If at night or at some time of the day the child feels calmer with the diaper and its losses are very frequent, nothing happens to put it on. Remember that the diaper at night is removed later than during the day and children tend to lose many years.
Surely by peeing again, the child is expressing something. It is called regression and although it is accentuated at 3 years of age, it can occur shortly before. The child behaves like a baby, is terrified of getting older and seeing the responsibilities that come to him, he asks pacifier when I no longer used it ... The changes, both for starting the creche, the birth of a brother, a move, the weaning, the separation of the parents ..., they upset the little one. Parents know their child best and can find the problem. Other times it is just a wake-up call, expressing that he wants to have more pampering and contact with his parents.
What to do as parents?
Parents should not believe that the child has a developmental problem or that they are not addressing it well. Simply the child is learning and is still small. Work with the minor must continue. It is a mistake to despair, give up and get angry, otherwise it will only generate fear and insecurity. It is best to assume that these changes will be for a while.
Parents must respect the evolutionary rhythm of their child. No child will leave the diaper at the same age, so it is useless to compare him with others. The same when you pee again. Patience is essential in this type of teaching. With punishments and anger will slow down learning. The child must see his parents as support and accomplices. The affection and affection towards the infant are the acts that will bear fruit.
Motivation and daily contact with the little one are what make him have more self-esteem. Telling him that he can, that nothing is wrong, and that he take his time will provide peace of mind. The child requires the hand of his parents to move forward because like adults he may feel overwhelmed or stressed. You need to feel safe, protected, and spending time with your parents. This way you can develop positively and relate to the world around you.
