Free Personal Development Training

Potty training is a process. It requires consistency, lots of praise and lots of patience. Infants are born with a spinal-cord reflex that automatically empties the bladder when it reaches a certain full-ness. A baby can not begin to learn to control elimination until the brain develops to the point that it begins to inhibit this reflex. This development varies greatly from child to child and generally happens somewhere between 18-36 months. There are some children potty trained earlier than that as well as several techniques developed to create a "diaper-free" infant, but this involves parents and/or care-givers who become in-tune to the child's elimination habits and take the child to the bathroom vs. The child saying they need to go and getting themselves to the bathroom on their own. This is parent-led potty training vs. Child-led potty training. Both views have thier pros and cons. There is nothing wrong with providing a potty chair or a seat for the big potty for your daughter to use when she is interested. However, I would suggest that you don't force the issue. Let her lead the way. If she wants to sit, let her, if she doesn't, that's OK. If nothing happens when she sits, that's OK, too, give her praise for trying. Most children are completely day-time diaper-free by the time they are 4. Night-time dryness can take much longer, sometimes until age 8 or older. My personal definition of a true potty trained child is "a child who can consistently sense the need to use the bathroom, announce the fact, make it to the bathroom, take down his/her clothing items, and get on the toilet before having an accident". Your daughter will potty train when she is ready. It is possible she will be ready at 19 months, but if she isn't, wait a few months and try again. I have been a mom for 28 years to 4 kids (ages 28, 25, 22, and 10). My own youngest daughter absolutely refused to use the potty until just before she turned 5! She'd go once in a while if we insisted, but she was in no hurry to give up her diapers. I have also been a child care provider in my home for 20 years, so I have potty trained a lot of kids. She tested every technique I have ever successfully used and I was not completely convinced she'd be diaper-free before school started despite her doctor's assurance that she would be. But, 2 weeks before she turned 5, she got up one morning, announced she was going potty in the toilet today and was day and night trained all in one day. Never wore a diaper or a pull-up again. I had never seen anything like it nor have I seen anything like it since. My own personal experience has been that 3 years old is a pretty average age for potty training to be complete. So, my advice, start the potty training process if you want and if she seems interested, but be prepared that she may be 2-3 years old or even older before it's the right time for her.

Just listen to your Instructor, follow what he intended you to do, especially some repetitive drills as part of self improvement and development.

It would better if you buy some dummy, in your free time, there are some techniques being given that you can practice in your room, or any space provided at your home that you can do things accordingly.

@Keyboard Warrior

It didn't mean that if you buy a dummy then you skip having a sparring and rolling with someone at the gym, wasn't that obvious that what I am referring to is during his free time.

Remember, if you just rely yourself on training period, then you can't easily achieve what you want to be.

Why are you getting frustrated, LOL.

EDIT 2:

Yes you are and no need for you to get intimidated because at such age of yours, you need to get mature, so I doubt that you are a kind that can't be controlled during training.

Because, how would others use to learn how to punch and kick if not of those bags and pads, such is also a dummy as a part of substitution to the real person, LOL.

OH WAIT, LOL.

EDIT 3:

I do mention on my profile that I am teaching grappling but true is, I've been trained under BJJ, only my Instructor modified some technique of it to become useful on self defense matter and issues.

I don't even know you the reason why I am not questioning your ability to answer things, but you itself don't even know me, such is the reasons that your sense is limited to others, LOL.

SO, YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN BJJ.

WHAT!

LOL

You can be good at BJJ but saying such is your expertise, LOL.

EDIT 3:

If you are not recommending it, then answer by your own because I am using such methods on my own beneficial purposes and interest, how would someone suggest one thing if he didn't even try it, such is my ways of doing some physical exercises during my free time, positioning, controls and submission drills that helps me a lot.

My Instructor is the one who introduce that things, if you hate it, then what is the reasons that this place are meant for everybody.

I can't even assume that you are not a knowledgeable kind of person, besides I also read some of your ideas and such is useful matter but it seems sometimes you ignore the facts that lots of us here has different ways of bringing things through our own personal efforts.

To help the one who post the question.

Good luck

All rabbits can be completely housebroken. Because they have an immaculate sense of personal hygiene, they am more trainable than you could possibly imagine. The rabbit is a creature of habit and it is common knowledge that they urinate and defecate as far away from their food as possible. I use what I call the Three P's of potty box training. The three P's are patience, perseverance & praise.

The older rabbits are a lot easier to potty box train, but I still insist on training directly from the nest box. Patience is very important in almost anything we do with these extremely sensitive animals. Potty box training your rabbit is no different than training a cat to use a litter box. Even if you are fed up or your rabbit refuses to become potty trained you must persevere (never give up). Never show your rabbit your defeat. If you give up they will give up. When your rabbit does use the potty box, give them a verbal reward like "good boy/girl______," and rub them behind the ears. Repetitive praise when your rabbit uses the potty box will establish a permanent image that this is correct. Everyone likes to know they did something right. A small amount of praise goes a long way.

You will find that with potty box trained animals your cleaning chores will be easier, less time consuming and less expensive. The first step in potty box training your rabbit is to identify the area used as the bathroom. This is normally the left or right back corner of the cage. Once you have identified the bathroom, place the appropriate size potty box with just enough environmentally friendly litter material to cover the bottom of the box in that area of the cage. I usually place some of the rabbit's fecal matter in the potty box to help stimulate their natural sense of curiosity.

I have found that the small cat litter pans work the best for my Holland lops and Netherland dwarf rabbits. These can be purchased in a variety of colors at any Target or Wal-mart store for $1.49 to $2.00. The litter material I use is called "Critter Country". I have found that the pelleted plant fibers have excellent absorption capabilities and odor control. Critter Country is biodegradable & decomposes into rich humus when composted. It's a clean, dust free litter that is free of mites and other insect contamination.

The potty box not only provides a receptacle for the rabbit's fecal matter, but also provides hours of entertainment and exercise. Several of my rabbits spend hours jumping in and out of their potty boxes. This form of aerobic exercise not only builds excellent muscle tone, but also enhances their lung development.

Those rabbits with better lung development are less susceptible to colds and respiratory infections. Because I start potty box training directly from the nest box, my rabbits have fewer colds & respiratory infections. I have always believed that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By naturally building your rabbits immune system, you and your rabbit will save in the long run.

Since I started using the potty boxes the time I spend cleaning has been cut in half. During the winter, I clean the boxes once a week on Saturdays, but during the hot summer months I need to clean them twice a week. The newspapers that I line the trays underneath the cages with are changed on Saturday as well. The pee-pee pads that are beneath the newspapers are changed once a month, or as needed. Several of my rabbits will push their potty boxes to the door of their cage when they want it cleaned. This demonstrates their constant need for good personal hygiene.

Remember the 3 P's of potty box training and you'll be on your way to a happy, healthy, and never bored rabbitry.
