So I wanna start introducing the potty. My son thinks it's a toy and wants to just keep flushing. What are some ways to introduce the potty so he starts to understand the concept of what bbn it's for (I know hes not gonna get potty trained now being so young. Just being I'm having another baby I wanna get started and introduce it).
I had a book called the potty book for boys lol he loved to read it. I think that helped a lot. I used to tell him what I was doing too when I went to the bathroom. One day when he was like 2 he went and sat down on the toilet and peed all on his own hahaha. He peed al over the floor because he wasn’t sitting back far enough but he still sat on the toilet and peed!!!
My daughter watches Daniel tigers “potty” episode once a day and she’s really picked up the concept even started crossing her legs and saying potty potty! The Pbs app is free to download and use.
I also let her go with me (I know this is different with a boy) but I do it to show her it’s normal, I talk her through what I’m doing and why. She’s very interested in sitting on the potty at this point. Now if she would actually go lol
Toddlers learn by watching and copying others, so what if he goes with your older son to the bathroom and watches him use the toilet? My son always follows me into the bathroom and when I’m on the toilet he grabs some paper and tries to wipe me 😂 I’m not gonna train him yet, he’s too young, but it’s good to let them see how it’s done so they can start grasping the concept. Do that for a while then maybe try putting him on the potty in a couple months. Don’t pressure him just because you’re having another baby. He’s still a baby himself and will go at his own pace. Good luck!
