By Mélodie CapronnierPosted on ShareSend by e-mail the child. Many methods exist and when a mother confided in waiting for her son to ask to use the potty, it created a great debate.Learning to potty train is a big step, as much for children as for parents. Many methods exist, and for the most part, the key is to let the child go at their own pace. Alice, a mother who recounts her daily life with her son Fern on TikTok, recently said she wanted to wait until he asked himself to go on the potty or on the toilet. And many parents have had a strong opinion on the matter.
She wants to wait until her son asks to potty train
"When and how do you plan to potty train Fern? My son is 22 months and I don't feel let him be ready. I think we'll wait!" a mum asks Alice. “We are not going to teach him cleanliness. When he asks to use the toilet, we will show him,” replies the TikTokeuse. An answer without appeal, which earned him a lot of judgments.
"It's a joke", "Okay, I usually agree with you but what?", "Alice, I support you and I think you are a great mom and but I disagree with you on the spot“, can we read in the comments of his video. Fortunately, many other parents have, on the contrary, supported her. "That's what we did and my daughter was ready at 20 months, she learned to clean herself in a week," retorted a user of the social network. “I think she means she will teach him when he shows interest, which is recommended to do,” adds another.
Video of the day:And, indeed, the time to start potty training depends on the child's maturity and psychomotor development. Forcing him is totally counterproductive, since the stress risks delaying his learning. Only one thing is important: do not put pressure on the child (or yourself)!
