Why are these tenets crucial for successful potty training?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the book <em>Oh Crap! Potty Training<\/em>, Jamie Glowacki emphasizes three main tenets for successful potty training. The success of Glowacki\u2019s potty training depends on these tenets, so you should understand them before beginning to potty-train your child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading for more on Jamie Glowacki&#8217;s potty training tenets: clarity, consistency, and confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tenet-1-clarity\"><strong>Tenet #1: Clarity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamie Glowacki&#8217;s potty training advice starts with clarity. In the context of potty training, clarity means you\u2019re clear to your child about what you need them to do\u2014you\u2019re firm but supportive and don\u2019t offer your child the chance to say no. Clear instructions help your child understand what\u2019s expected of them, making it easier to follow your instructions and learn. On the other hand, if you aren\u2019t clear about what you want, your child will feel confused, anxious, or frustrated\u2014feelings that derail potty training by encouraging resistance, power struggles, and tantrums.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout potty training, communicate <em>exactly<\/em> what you need your child to do, without phrasing these instructions in the form of a question or option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For example, instead of saying, \u201cDo you need to pee? Do you want to pee in the toilet?\u201d say, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the toilet so you can try to pee.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While Glowacki mainly discusses clarity in the context of how you can make your instructions clear to your child, psychological research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.765312\/full\">truly effective clarity between a parent and child must go both ways<\/a>. That is, besides communicating what you need, you must work to understand what your child needs from <em>you<\/em>. To encourage your child to express their needs, experts recommend you demonstrate you\u2019re listening by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/essentials\/communication\/activelistening.html\">making eye contact and getting down on their level while communicating<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-rewards\">No Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarity is also why Glowacki argues against using rewards for potty training. The main goal of potty training, she explains, is teaching your child that consistent potty use is <em>expected<\/em> behavior. A reward system, on the other hand, teaches your child to use the potty <strong>only as long as they get something out of it<\/strong>. This lesson conflicts with your main goal, sending mixed messages to your child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some experts disagree with the idea that reward systems don\u2019t encourage behavior in itself. They argue that when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/essentials\/consequences\/rewards-devlelopingprogram.html\">make clear and consistent rules about when and why your child can earn rewards<\/a>, they will associate the positive feeling of being rewarded with the behavior (in this case, toilet use) itself. In addition, they explain that rewards also help your child form new habits\u2014eventually, they\u2019ll start using the toilet out of habit rather than because of a reward.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tenet-2-consistency\"><strong>Tenet #2: Consistency<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Glowacki emphasizes that consistency is crucial for making the process of potty training clear and simple. Consistency means committing time and energy to training your child until it\u2019s done. Training your child consistently allows them to keep practicing toilet use, making it routine. On the other hand, inconsistency\u2014for example, putting your child in diapers when you don\u2019t feel up to training\u2014means your child won\u2019t pick up these skills as quickly and might find your instructions unclear or conflicting. (Shortform note: Research supports Glowacki\u2019s claim that consistency helps your child learn, and further suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/BF01664735\">inconsistent parenting methods<\/a>\u2014such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/personal-life\/relationships\/parenting\/disciplining-children\/\">disciplining your child<\/a> in <em>some<\/em> instances of a behavior but not other instances\u2014often contribute to misbehavior in toddlers.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be consistent in your potty training, keep your instructions the same and make them part of a daily routine\u2014Glowacki explains that toddlers love routines because they provide structure and a sense of certainty. She emphasizes that you should <em>not<\/em> give up or return to diapers for convenience\u2019s sake\u2014even if you were to do so only once a week, these exceptions teach your child that you don\u2019t expect them to <em>always<\/em> use the toilet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: You might be wondering what kinds of potty training routines you should create. Some experts recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/infant-and-toddler-health\/in-depth\/potty-training\/art-20045230\">planning specific moments in the day when your child will use the potty<\/a>. Plan to put your child on the potty for a few minutes every two hours, and attach potty use to specific activities, like bedtime. However, note that planning potty training this rigidly contrasts with the more situational approach we\u2019ll see in our discussion of Glowacki\u2019s potty training phases.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tenet-3-confidence\"><strong>Tenet #3: Confidence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being confident in yourself is crucial for sending your child clear and consistent messages about what you need from them. Glowacki explains that toddlers pick up on emotional cues in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/body-language-crucial-conversations\/\">body language<\/a> and mimic them. Therefore, by speaking and acting with confidence, you\u2019ll help your child feel confident as well. (Shortform note: Psychological research supports Glowacki\u2019s claim that toddlers mimic the emotions of others, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/10.3389\/conf.fnhum.2013.212.00180\/event_abstract\">suggests children under twelve months old can do so<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confidence also keeps potty training clear and consistent. If you feel uncertain, your child will receive unclear and inconsistent instructions: Your voice might say they <em>have<\/em> to do something, but your body language will show that you\u2019re unsure. On the other hand, speaking <em>and<\/em> acting with confidence means that your voice and body language send the same message. Finally, if you\u2019re confident in your approach, you\u2019ll naturally have an easier time committing to it, helping with consistency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Boost Your Parental Confidence<\/strong><br><br>To keep up your confidence during the often challenging process of potty training, try using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfamily.com\/7-ways-to-feel-confident-as-a-new-mom-4774385\">these three expert-recommended methods<\/a>:<br><br>1) Don\u2019t abandon hobbies: Try to spend some time on skills or hobbies you\u2019re confident in.
