Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Margaret, When needed his poopy bottom cleaned up-we used cold water instead of warm water and that seemed to help him, even though he loves the water, too.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 How old is she? Do you think she is reallly ready?? I dont think aversives work with potty training because ultimately it will become a war for control. I think a more positive, loving, encouraging approach works in this arena but that is just my opinion. When a child decides in this regard, it happens overnight. And yes, they may need extra encouragement in that direction but negatives will back them up in my humble opinion. The bummer things I have learned in parenthood are..you cant MAKE a child eat, sleep, or poop in the pot. Ugh! tracy Potty Training > Hi > > Can I ask what people found to be useful aversives?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 We are trying to potty train avery. we started over the summer and it was going well, then he was put on the continous feedings and it all fell apart. now he doesn't want any part of it. i wonder if the continous feedings are going to make it harder, does his bladder empty differently? maybe a little leaking type. i don't know. can anyone help. and the bath is getting hard. he watched rug rats and now is scared of going down the drain. i put so many bubbles in the tub so he doesn't see the drain. but he still sits all the way to the back. those silly shows. don't they know what they do to little ones brains. lol amy pasz- averys momma 3 in march Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
