| With all the different kinds of potty seats -
cushioned, padded, flip-up, flip-down, car-shaped, glow in the dark, with step-stool
attached, or ones with SpongeBob, Blues Clues, Dora and other favorites, why would a child
need potty training incentives? The answer is
simple - all of the above entice a child into a friendly bathroom, which is important, but
none of them lets the child take an active role in the potty training process. In
truth, they are useful and important bathroom accessories or furniture, but they do not
teach and they do not reward a child for potty successes, and they do not let the child
track his or her progress. They do not teach that first all-important lesson -- that
you (the child) are responsible for your own actions.
Teach responsibility and ownership of an issue at an
early age. Potty training is a great way to start and potty training incentives
facilitate the process by involving children, making them responsible for their own potty
training accomplishments.
Along with any helpful or inviting accessory, we
recommend a good potty training incentives program, one that allows toddlers to track
their accomplishments and rewards them for each success.
According to most pediatricians, moms and child-care
experts, the best incentives are those that are simple and child-friendly, like Potti Pets. Potti Pets are large, colorful incentive charts
with bright happy stickers. Potti Pets are actually a complete potty training
system, because they also come with great potty training advice and include other products
like hygiene charts and a graduation diploma to round out the potty training experience.
When your child selects one of the easy-to-recognize
animal shapes in the Potti Pets group, toddler has just taken ownership of the potty
training issue by making an important choice. The ball is in toddler's lap, now.
With ownership, toddler has an investment in the process and will want to succeed.
Therefore the experience will likely be faster and easier.
Potty training incentives programs that are
"positive" and offer rewards and encouragement are highly effective and more
likely to bring a meaningful experience to toddler and a successful conclusion to the
potty training process. |
