Set Hours for Writing and Potty Training
There are almost as many methods of potty training as there are tolerant toddlers. There is a classic method of stickers and prizes. Dirty three day method . Annoying toy method . Even the M&M method (it’s simple: you bribe them with M&M). Many of these experiences boil down to some combination of bribery and power struggles. But setting a toilet timer for your child can help take your mind off the typical power struggles of potty training.
After Reddit user u / sonaked saw a couple of recommendations from other Reddit users to use “piss-pee-pee clock”, they decided to give it a try:
I thought, what the hell, I’ll try. So, I went to sounds and settings on my phone, turned on the ringer and said, “Oops! This is a pee-pee watch! It’s time to go to the potty! “My baby HAS BEEN SUPPORTED to the potty and continued:” Hours-pee-pee! Pi-pi-clock! “We do this every hour an hour, and she excitedly told her grandmother:” I need to sit on the pot. This is the “Pi-Pi-Poo-Poo-Poo” watch.
The genius of this is simple: you don’t tell them it’s time to use the pot. The clock tells them to use the pot. A writing watch is the perfect authoritative third-party voice of reason.
Set your smartphone or smartwatch to sound an alarm at regular intervals (approximately every 60-90 minutes to start). For more legitimacy, choose a sound you only use for potty training.
If that doesn’t work, you can always try using maxi pads to transfer them to your underwear, or stock up on these products to clean up potty accidents .
