Do you want to know what is the most convenient way to get your children out of the diaper? This question comes up when your son brags that he wants to be a little man but he can’t even go to the bathroom by himself.

First of all, never start potty training until your little one is ready. This will only make the process longer and will frustrate and disappoint you even more.

There is no specific age, but you will see signs of readiness between 18 and 24 months. One of the signs is his curiosity about the bathroom. You’ll want to know more about what adults do when they’re in the bathroom. He will ask questions and starting training is his answer. You will also notice at this point that your child will be upset when his diaper is wet. So it’s likely that he tends to stay dry for a few hours or more at a time.

By the time the child is ready, you must also be ready (and equipped) as a parent. Familiarize your child with using the potty. Make the process exciting and highly engaging for him.

You can start by taking him out and letting him select the “it” potty. Finding great colors and patterns with a familiar character will help. You can also look for some “potty books or DVDs” that you can share with your child. These will be read or viewed only during potty time.

Here’s a great deal with most guys. Most of them will want to sit while they learn to use their potties. Don’t punish them or force them to urinate standing up this time, let them adjust to using the potty first.

After he gets used to urinating sitting up and has mastered bladder control, challenge him by saying he’s a big boy now. Then tell him that big boys use the potty standing up. It is likely that he will follow you with this trick.

Confirm this with your other male friends or with your dad. Ask them to accompany you to the bathroom. Having examples, you can decide to pick this up on your own.

By making sure your child is already potty-trained before you leave them with the actual potty training and taking your time with the process, you will definitely increase your success rate with your child.

Always keep things upbeat and be optimistic! Give your guy a high five with every success and they’ll keep coming back.

Be patient and in the next few days, you’ll be able to get the diapers off and see that proud little boy of yours going to the potty by himself.
