National Potty Training Awareness Month

2007-06-25-potty.jpg

Yes, that's right, June is National Potty Training Awareness Month, just incase you didn't know! It's coming to a close, so you've got one more week to join in the fun!

We just watched an interesting video on the Potty Training Debate, and how early is too early to start training right here.

Here's one fact we learned from the video: did you know that in 1950 95% of babies were potty trained by the time they were 18 months, while today less than 10% are?

 
 

If you're potty training, we found a great list of tips over at Babyzone.

We did the intensive 3 day training and it totally worked. I didn't think it would, but it did. There are many books out on it etc. also info on the web but they all say basically the same thing. My son was almost three so maybe he was just old enough to understand how to do it. Every kid is different though.

Elimination communication is great, but there really is a different mind set from "potty training" that goes along with it. It's a long-term process, but one that I think is well worth it.
