Potty Training Is a Bit More Intimidating Lately
There seems to be a brand new way to get your child to cooperate with everything from behavior to using the potty every week. The contraptions they come up with can be both amazing and yet still a bit, well creepy. These things sit on the shelves of all those baby super stores and are turn it all into a jungle of brightly colored plastic.
All these gadget can make any new step, especially potty training a bit more confusing. Which is something I’m going through. Not only is there an insane amount of gadgets involved for girls (for boys there’s even more) there’s endless opinions on the proper way to do it so one won’t damage their child’s ability to use the potty for the rest of their lives.
Honestly one would never in a million years think there would be so much stuff involved in using the toilet, yet here we are with a bazillion gizmos. All of them proclaiming to be the absolute best one that won’t traumatize my kiddo. Some admittedly I could see myself getting as a gag gift, including (and my personal favorite, even if for merely it being the funniest product ever seen) is a talking potty.
It has it’s very own toilet paper dispenser for the little ones and a fake flushing mechanism. It’s also apparently a bit chatty as well, as a reward for the kiddo using it. Personally, that seems a bit odd to me and perhaps I’m old fashioned in thinking that a toilet should not talk to someone.
Then again considering this is my first official foray into these frightening aisles, maybe all these gizmos have a purpose. Have any of you actually used them with any luck? What helped your child learn to use the potty? Or is there a technique you plan on using?
