The Dr. Phil Technique as Training your Child to Potty

Your child will learn better by teaching her through visual demonstration. Get a doll, preferably the anatomically correct one, and teach him to follow how to go potty.

This is the Dr. Phil technique which you can employ for fastest results with this training process.

When you already have a doll that wets itself when given water, ask your child to name her model doll then let her give it water to drink. Have the potty seat ready and walk the doll to the potty chair with your child. Pull down the doll's big kid underwear, letting her watch the doll do the process.

Have the usual reward system. This time, since the process will take shorter route, hold a party for the doll's successful attempt. Have some balloons and party hats. By doing this, you establish a pattern that tells her that the success in this training is such a big deal waiting for a big award.

Join her in the party while let her know that she can have an even more special potty party if she will be successful. This will inspire her to put more effort to the whole training process.

After the party, it's time to start. Throw away all the diapers to tell her there is no turning back. To add more persuasion in the situation, have her wear that big kid underwear. Have her doll model do the same.

Try to offer your child plenty of fluids as well. Probably unknown to you, this optimizes her chances to be successful. Make it regular, perhaps every hour, to make her need to go more often.

In case she always commits an accident, try a reminder system you can monitor. Tell her to go to the toilet every half an hour. Never punish her for an accident.

Practice more by going to the bathroom and let her sit on the potty a few times, ten times would be ideal. This will help her get acquainted every time she is ready to go.

When your child successfully completed the training, fulfill your part by holding that potty party you promised before. Make a celebration of her accomplishment and make her really happy.
