I have heard of parents getting babies to not wear diapers which is just ridiculous. <br />I agree that boys should always sit during potty training. Try not to show boys standing up until about to attend elementary school.AuPairDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601954529507054216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-12560739881913247462009-11-14T18:30:42.627-05:002009-11-14T18:30:42.627-05:00When you are practicing potty training not only ha...When you are practicing potty training not only have the child drink water and eat fiber, let the child play with water toys with a bowl of lukewarm water.

The grandmother and friends suggested just removing the diaper and let her run until she was trained. But I agree with the mother's approach which was similar to this because we did't stress the child out. It was all positive reinforcement and no blame for mistakes.<br /><br />Nanny Annie, Melrose MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-29018880319245669522009-11-13T09:34:41.109-05:002009-11-13T09:34:41.109-05:00awesome advice.
