Potty Training
Quote From: smitty2My son is only two and half. I've started potty training with him and I'm already annoyed and frustrated. I don't know if I just don't have any patience, but I just don't understand why it's so difficult. I am trying to be patient and give him time and wait until he's "ready". But that is A LOT easier said than done. It is literally holding him back at his daycare. He can't move onto the next class until he gets potty trained. Some kids aren't ready until they are 3. His life won't be damaged if he has to wait back at daycare.
But I think sometimes it's hard for us parents to look at kids as kids...we project our adult minds onto them. Using a potty is a very complicated to a tiny child mind. They have to learn how to feel when they need to go, they have to learn to feel it early enough. They have to wrap their mind around the concept of a huge monumental change from everything they have ever known. I just try to spend much of my time thinking as my daughter would, it makes me much less frustrated.
