~Potty~

"Shall we start a toilet train with her?" Rachel's mummy said to me one morning when she sent Rachel to centre. Rachel is moving into 2 years old coming September. For me this is a right time to let her to have her toilet train.


During her toilet training period with us and the parents, she had sucessed within 2 weeks. At the begining we decided to let her take off her diapers imediately. For sure, she did wet herself for several times. However, after 1-2 weeks, she was able to do her 'business' in her cute little potty, just before she back to Taiwan for a holiday.

Well done Rachel!!!

Usually toilet train is one of the request from parents that come for enquiry. During my studies on Diploma in Montessori, one of the theorist that I had studied was Freud. In his theory, he did mentioned that if toilet training wasn't deal properly in the early years, negative impact will accure in the later years. Such as characteristics that extremely tidy or extremely messy are the impact from the early years toilet train.

  1. I agree, it's important that it's done properly.

    I've seen some child care practitioners get cross at a toilet training child, because they repeatedly asked to go to the toilet.

    As a result, the child feels ashamed and even afraid to ask to go, and that will badly hinder the toilet training process.
