not sure about "language"? But i have trained MANY children. All different. The one thing I always remind parents is you are not training the child, you are training yourself first. It is your responsibility to remind the child to try and go potty, and to pay attention to the childs cues. If he had a tendency to fill his diaper (poop) shortly after eating lunch, then of course that would be the time to prepare for a visit to the pot. (with a book and drink in sippy helps) when he goes behind the furniture to play or will stop play and stare quietly at nothing, you may know he is going or preparing to go. I have set a timer for every hour or two to have the child take a quick trip to the potty. And another thing I do when training in the beginning is pick a clear area (hard floor) and have the child sit on the potty seat out in the open around the other children where they can watch them play and interact. I will ussly sit right with them and pay attn, but this also keeps me with the child and the child (i think) feels more secure, because they are not secluded from the others durring that time. Not for everyone though...but I have noticed it works for us. oh also: make sure during potty training, the child gets plenty of fluids, sure helps in beginning to catch those quick pee pee's that "just happen" when they sit for a min or two, and it def encourages their ability and builds their confidence. GOOD LUCK!
