Anyway, the child just doesn't want to take off the diaper? You can try these 3 tricks

School is about to start, has your baby's diaper been quit?

First, why are children reluctant to take off diapers?

From the characteristics of the baby's physiological development, at the age of 2, their control muscles will gradually mature, you can try to let them go to the toilet by themselves, around the age of 3, the bladder gradually develops and matures, able to control stool and urine.

But the truth is, we find that many children are more than 3 years old, still wearing diapers, why?

The reason comes from two points, one is that from the perspective of parents, parents pay too much attention to "he can wear it if he wants", thus neglecting to do toilet training for the baby.

In fact, parents are vague in the logic of two things, we do not advocate forcibly quitting diapers and peeing on children, but it does not mean that children should not be toilet trained.

Going to the toilet is a natural human instinct, but toilet training is a life skill, an experience that needs to be learned through training, and the two are completely different.

Second, from the perspective of children, they have been with diapers since birth, and they have developed a dependence psychology, so it is impossible to let them abandon it immediately.

In addition to this, there are some other reasons, such as:

Children have insufficient abdominal and lower limb strength, and the brain's control over body muscles is weak, so standing posture can help them mobilize the strength of the whole body;

He has never seen sitting or squatting;

Wait a minute.

Second, scientific toilet training recommendations

First of all, parents should be prepared to fight the "tough battle".

It may take up to 6 months for toilet training to be successful, and it may take another 3 months to do bridging work before training.

Therefore, the performance of parents affects the child's "feeling" of learning new skills to the greatest extent. For example, when parents give their children a perception that "the consequences of failing bowel training are serious", the child may choose to avoid the attempt and resist the guidance of parents, resulting in ineffective training.

Parents must be "Buddhist" in this process. Of course, Buddhism should bring some determination and wisdom to guide children in a positive direction.

Secondly, you can choose a potty chair for your child, preferably allowing the child to participate in the selection, decoration, or writing his or her own name.

Toilet chair requirements: After the child sits down, his feet can land on the ground. Once selected, place it in a place where your child plays.

The main point of training in the potty stage is to encourage children to imitate.

When children are dressed while reading a book or playing with toys, when parents or other children use the toilet, encourage them to imitate and sit on the toilet. The purpose is to cultivate their awareness of "going to the toilet when you want to uh-huh".

After a week, they can be encouraged to take off their pants and sit in the potty chair wearing only diapers. Parents can also put feces or soiled diapers in the potty to explain to their children the usefulness of the potty chair. The aim is to link bowel movements to the potty chair.

In this transition process, when the child tells the parent that he wants to go to the toilet, the parent should praise it in time. At the same time, bring the child to the potty chair and encourage the use of the potty chair; And praise after the child has successfully tried it.

After a week of successful potty use, parents can try getting their child to give up diapers. Positively reinforce this behavior through various methods, such as reward stickers.

When transitioning to adult toilets, you can use ladder stools and toilet seats to allow children to step on the floor when sitting on the toilet and enhance their sense of security.

Third, when conducting toilet training, let the child form a sense of "defecating to the bathroom" in space and become familiar with the bathroom environment.

If your child is reluctant to squat or use the toilet, look for the cause.

If it is because of the unfamiliarity with the "utensil", such as visually may feel that "the hole feels like it will fall in", you can first let the child perceive the purpose of the toilet, such as closing the lid and letting the child sit on it to complete the bowel movement.

After not resisting, you can first let the child wear a diaper to complete the bowel movement; Then gradually relax the diaper, or cut a hole in the back for your child to perceive and become familiar with the process of feces falling down the toilet.

In the training for half a year, the child will gradually develop the concept and behavior habit of "hmm-huh go to the toilet", and the training is over.

Third, some precautions when "removing diapers"

01. Appropriate reminders

Generally, there will be a "rectal reflex" after eating, which will produce the desire to defecate. Parents can remind their children to go to the toilet and sit on the toilet at this time, so as to guide their children: if they feel that their stomach is bloated and have the intention to defecate, they can try to sit on the toilet.

If the child refuses, parents should not force it. After the child pulls the diaper, throw the diaper into the potty chair to let the child know that the poop is going to be pulled into the potty, and once again strengthen their connection to the "bowel movement-potty chair".

02. Don't give up halfway

Self-toilet training for children is a time-consuming task that tests parents' patience; At the same time, children may be repeated due to various factors, such as changes in the environment, and can never take off their diapers, so parents at this stage must be patient and not impatient.

Withdrawal is always difficult, adults may not be able to quit smoking completely, parents can not give up for their children, let the child wear diapers.

When parents are not in a hurry and provide their children with more successful experiences and experiences, children have more control over their bodies, and then believe that they can do this, and they are one step closer to successful self-defecation.

03. When the child is sick

When a parent was training his child, he "forced" his child not to wear diapers to the toilet because of his lack of patience. As a result, the child has not succeeded, and after holding back for two days, he has a low-grade fever and is not in a good mood.

In this case, it is generally recommended to continue to guide while the condition is being treated. For example, encourage children to take the initiative to tell their parents that they have a bowel movement; Pour the poop from your diaper into the toilet and show your child that "poop is going to the toilet."

No matter what kind of practice, it takes time to get used to and master, so parents can neither rush nor give up guidance.

04. Avoid conflicts in the process

The stage of toilet training at the age of 2-3 is the period of rapid formation of children's self-awareness. Once they feel "forced", it is likely to cause them resistance.

Therefore, parents try to avoid conflicts with their children during toilet training, and try to be patient and do not repeatedly urge their children to defecate.

05. Pay attention to your child's stool

When the child has not yet adapted to not wearing diapers, parents can pay more attention to: whether the child has smooth bowel movements, whether there are dry knots in the stool, etc.; Timely supplementation of dietary fiber for children, when the stool is soft and easy to solve, the child's willingness to defecate will also increase.
