One of our favorite scenes is the one where Maria asks the kids if they can sing - and they're like "no"...she strums her guitar to ..."Let's start at the very beginning...A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C".
I believe that with Potty Training, ABCs are a good place to start. The ABCs are Awareness, Beginning, and Conditioning.
Awareness is the first step in getting baby ready. Awareness is the time of exposure, learning, and observation without any specific action. It’s like job-shadowing..When we job shadow, we read and observe and ask questions – but we don’t have to do the actual work. The parent and the child get a chance to use their senses as well as intuition and instinct to get familiar with toilet training(for the parent) and toilet learning(for the child).
Awareness gives both the parent and the child the confidence to take the next step – Beginning, In order to prepare baby for potty the parent begins the process giving the child opportunities to practice. At this stage, get baby to sit in the potty, get familiar with the process, the sensation. The key during this stage is to get the child accustomed to the idea of going to “pee” and “poo” in a specific place.
Once the child has began to use the potty, the next step is Conditioning. The idea of Conditioning is for the parent to gradually install the habit in the child of using the potty. Most children are conditioned from birth to “pee” and “poo” in their diaper. Conditioning is a step that will eventually expose the child to a better choice – the Potty!
I will share more details on how I used the ABCs to get my younger daughter Joanne ready in my next blog. I will also share testimonials from parents around the world who have been on a similar journey.
