Potty Chairs to Toilets

Potty Chairs To Toilets. Moving children from potty chairs to the adult size toilet can be almost as difficult as getting them on the potty chairs in the first place. Some emotional issues may need to be resolved.

Start By Following These Three Steps When Moving Children From Potty Chairs to Toilets:

Position their potty chairs next to the adult size toilet so your child gets used to "seeing it in the bathroom."
After you feel your child fully has adjusted to the potty seat, get a child-size toilet seat for the adult toilet, and provide a sturdy box or stool to climb up and down with out your help. This will also give him a surface to plant their feet while using the toilet.

Once a child has completely and voluntarily made the transition from potty chair to toilet, remove the potty.
Monkey See, Monkey Do. Little boys just like little girls generally sit down to urinate during the early potty training toilet stage, but as preschoolers they'll begin to copy their fathers, friends, or older brothers, and stand up while urinating. As your child learns to do this, make sure he lifts the toilet seat beforehand. Be prepared to do some extra cleaning around the toilet bowl for a while, since he probably won't have perfect aim for some time.

Your Pediatrician Can Help With Potty Training. If any concerns come up before, during, or after toilet training, talk with your pediatrician. Often the problem or problems are minor and can be resolved quickly, but sometimes physical or emotional causes will require treatment. Your pediatrician's help, advice, and encouragement can help make toilet training easier. Also, your pediatrician is trained to identify and manage problems that are more serious.
