One and a half years - quite suitable time for schooling of the child to a pot. And it is possible to do it not only at the level of a reflex. The kid at such age already rather conscious to explain purpose of a pot.
Convenient pot
For a start it is necessary to pick up such pot what will be convenient to your child. Perhaps, it is necessary to touch several different options, there will be no necessary yet. It has to be the convenient height and width.
Let the child like to sit on a pot. But it is not necessary to allow it to play with this subject. The only game which can be allowed the child with a pot is an imitation of process with toys. Let the kid put dolls and bears on a pot. The similar game will show to you that the child accurately acquired his appointment.
Frequency and regularity
First, the kid should be landed on a pot as often as possible. For example, do it time 20 minutes. The more the kid sits on a pot, the probability that he will urinate in it, but not in trousers is higher. Secondly, it is important to do it regularly. Always to a dream, after walk and after a meal, for example. If you act this way, over time the organism of the kid will develop a reflex: after a meal it is necessary to descend in a toilet. To descend on a pot will become a part of a day regimen.
You praise for success
The praise for progress sets them much more effectively, than abuse for failures. Of course, mom's nerves sometimes stretch to a limit when the child constantly wets trousers, and on a pot does not sit. But it is necessary to have patience. Your censures can easily provoke to the kid disgust for a pot. Therefore just quietly change clothes of wet trousers, explaining what to do so badly. And here if he sat down on a pot in time, then surely praise it, show the sincere joy of it. You can even stick on a pot beautiful stickers for every successful time.
Put away diapers
Quite really in 1.5 years to use a diaper only for a dream. Never put on it during wakefulness of the house. You can not always change clothes at once of wet trousers that the kid felt that it is unpleasant. In a diaper it is very heavy to child to control urination: he badly feels when and how many peed. Whereas in wet shorts it becomes quickly unpleasant what stimulates to restrain. It is simpler to stop using diapers that who reached age in 1.5 years in the summer. In warm season you can often suggest the child to descend in a toilet, to ask it about it. Even when the kid refuses, take away him periodically in bushes if you feel that time already approached. Always take a set of spare clothes that in case of failure to change clothes of wet trousers. More difficult than subjects who is accustomed to a pot in the winter. But even in cold season it is possible to find ways not to put on a diaper walk. For example, try to go outside right after the kid urinated, and walk not for long. It is better to give drink after return. Then you will be able to refuse use of diapers.
Alternatives to a pot
If you tried already many models, and the child all the same does not want to sit on a pot, then can accustom him to control urination and other ways. Some boys initially like to stand more during process and to watch a stream. In that case you can put the child in a bathtub or on its edge. It is necessary to do it often and regularly, as well as in case of use of a pot. Include a small pressure of water in a sink that the sound of the current water stimulated urination. Other alternative to a pot – an adult toilet bowl. Here it is possible to think up several options. Almost all kids like to imitate adults. And parents do not sit on a pot. For a start you can put it near a toilet bowl in a toilet. But if it does not help also desire on to sit on a pot will not appear, then get a special children's nozzle on a toilet bowl. The child in 1.5 years can quite explain that he goes to a toilet now as the adult. Of course, before it you should allow the child to see why adults use a toilet bowl. Your living example will well add verbal instructions. For the boy it will also be convenient to buy a step that he could "descend on small", standing on it. It is desirable that previously the kid saw how it is done by dad. The most important is to teach the child to constrain the first desires to urination and to accustom him to urinate regularly on a pot or in a toilet bowl. Someone in 1.5 years can bear hour, and someone no more than 30 minutes. Watch the child carefully: over time you will begin to notice when he wants in a toilet. At the same time it is not necessary to demand from the kid in 1.5 years that he began "to ask" at once. Much more important for it during this period – understanding of purpose of a pot. Understanding and scoring of the desire will appear much later.
