If you’re getting ready to begin potty training your toddler… or you’re already pulling your hair out trying… give me just 5 minutes and I’ll show you the fastest, easiest way to do it.
It’s fun for your child. You’ll save weeks or months of frustration. And in just a few days you’ll never have to change a diaper again.
If you have tried potty training your toddler, you are probably feeling exhausted and demoralized as your child battles with you and struggles to catch on to the idea. You are probably wondering why it is so difficult! Does this sound familiar to you? Well, you are not alone.
After reviewing the literature and consulting extensively with many specialists, quite frankly I was shocked at what I discovered. I don’t mean to alarm you. I wanted the peace of mind in knowing that the potty training of our son could be achieved easily, quickly and safely. But when I did the research and found the health issues associated with this, I was truly concerned.
In developing countries, the potty training of the vast majority of children is accomplished by the age of 18 months to 2 years. This was true also for Western countries, 50 or more years ago:
Studies released by Harvard University in 1956 revealed that the potty training of 80% of American kids was accomplished by the age of 2 years.
Nowadays in the Western world, the age at which the potty training of just 50% of toddlers is accomplished is close to 3, and 26% of children are still not trained by the age of 4!
You see, the only really significant change to have occurred in the toddler world over the last 50 years or so in developed countries, is the shift from wearing uncomfortable cloth diapers to the modern disposable diaper. The technology in disposable diapers has increased to the extent that young toddlers today have No Concept of the feeling of being wet, so they don’t have an incentive to get out of them!
… And the consequence of disposable diapers? The average age at which kids in western society are potty trained today has been delayed by well over one year!!
The disposable diaper companies know this all too well, but it is very much in their interests to have your toddler in their diapers for as long as possible. There is a lot of extra profit for them in having your child in diapers for an extra year!
There are many "experts" that even suggest that your task is to introduce your child to the concept of the potty, but to leave it up to your child in essence to "let you know" when they are ready to use the potty. If I may be frank, this myth is ridiculous! As this appears to be the easy option, it is now also a popularly held view among some parents who seek an "easy" way out. I’m sorry to have to say this, but leave it up to your child at your peril, for you will substantially delay the age at which your child is trained, and at possible risk to their health!
Your child does need to exhibit certain signs of readiness for potty training prior to commencing, or you will be wasting your time. But once these signs of readiness become evident, you need to be proactive and follow a proven method to guide your child through the potty training process, for the least stressful and quickest route to success.
I was having endless trouble potty training my 2 and a half year old daughter. I could get her to sit on the potty but she was too afraid to poop! I tried "Potty Training in 1 to 3 days", followed the method and was amazed by the results. Stacey was happily eliminating on the potty by herself on the first day of the training programme!
I wanted to have my 2 year old son potty trained, but it was proving to be a frustrating experience and an uphill battle. I was hesitant to purchase the ‘Potty Trained in 1 to 3 Days’ audio guide. It sounded too good to be true. But there was a guarantee and I thought, how could I lose? I got the guide, followed the step by step procedure and got fantastic results. Liam is now potty trained and I don’t have to change any more diapers!
Well, the real problem is that parents like us are left to pay the expense in the consequences for our children, the environment, and the cost in thousands of dollars for disposable diapers.
What is most alarming – delaying potty training can have severe health and psychological consequences for your child, the scarring of which can continue on well beyond their toddler years! A little dramatic, you might be thinking, but just consider this…
Health Issues: Have you ever heard of a condition termed retentive encopresis? It is associated with unresolved constipation issues, and can become apparent from the age of 3-4 years plus. Retentive encopresis is also commonly known as uncontrolled pant soiling. This condition results in the stretching (and sometimes tearing) of the lower intestines from enlarged, hardened stools, to the extent that your child will no longer have the urge to defecate.
This can be problematic and very humiliating for your child as he/she grows older, requiring medical intervention and in some cases having to re-learn how to recognize the need to eliminate. Retentive encopresis can result in conditions such as mega colon, anal fissures and bladder infections. Delay potty training and bowel training for too long, and you will increase the likelihood of your child ending up with this nasty condition. But it can be avoided in the majority of cases!
Psychological Issues: I am sure you can imagine the embarrassment and humiliation your child will feel if they are the only one at kinder or starting school, and having kids laugh at them for still wearing diapers!
Cost to You: You will be costing yourself thousands of dollars in disposable diapers… Read more…
