Potty Training parent "guidelines"

[Suzie_Homemaker]

My rules :-

1. Be sure ready. It's a process and once begin then no going back to diaper because it's easier for parent. If you try and give up and go back to diaper, that tell child diaper returning is available. Bad bad cycle to get into. If we do this, we do this to the end, not matter how long it take. Start too soon, makes for long process.
2. Real underwear. Little bit of pee running down leg is good teaching aid.
3. Child must to be to pull own pants down unassisted before begin
4. Child must be able to pull own pants up unassisted before begin, including over their backside
5. Parent does weekend first - full weekend. If they not bother to do 2 days when one-on-one then don't expect me to do 10 hour day when 6 children. My level of support increases with parental effort.
6. If child is at the "no" phase and say no to everything, then this is not time to train.
