Potty Training Girls
June 24, 2008
The key to potty-training success is starting only when your daughter is ready. While some girls can start as young as 18 months, others may not be prepared to learn until well into their fourth year. Lucky for you, girls tend to potty train faster than boys. And they are comparatively easier to tackle.
There’s no point trying to get a head start: studies show that when parents begin potty training before a girl is physically or emotionally ready, the process simply takes longer to complete. In other words, you arrive at your destination at the same time, no matter when you start. If your daughter has seen her older brother, her father, or one of her friends from preschool or daycare stands tall at the toilet, she’ll more than likely want to try peeing standing up. Let her.
In addition to what just said, you’ll have to clean up a couple of messes, but she’ll probably get the idea fairly quickly that she doesn’t have the equipment to make it work, and you won’t have to engage her in a power struggle. If she persists, have her watch you and explain how mommies and their daughters have to sit down to pee. This early in the process, your girl needs to get used to the idea of using the potty.
Start by letting her knows that the potty, or potty chair, is her very own; you can personalize it by writing her name on it or letting her decorate it with stickers. Then have her try sitting on it with her clothes on. After she’s practiced this way a few times, you can suggest she try it with her nappy off. If she seems at all resistant, avoid any temptation to pressure her.
One of the most known tricks to have potty training girls is if she has a favorite doll or stuffed animal, try using it for potty demonstrations. Most girls enjoy watching their favorite toy go through the motions, and may learn more this way than from you telling them what to do. Some parents even construct a makeshift toilet for the doll or stuffed animal; while your girl is perched on her chair, her favorite toy can be sitting on its own potty.
