Free Toilet Training Guide

Free Toilet Training Guide: "Potty Training Tips

Potty training. Most parents don't look forward to this part of child rearing. Even though it certainly isn't fun, it doesn't have to be a nightmare.

Potty training usually starts around ages 2 or 3. Generally speaking, though each child is different, girls usually start sooner, and boys usually start later. Some signals that your child is ready to start potty training includes the following:

* Pulling on their clothes
* Signaling that their diaper is dirty
* Crossing legs or holding their crotch area

One potty training tip that can be of immense help is one that most parents don't even think about. Try letting your child accompany you in the bathroom and watch you use the toilet. This way, the child will see that 'even mommy does it'. This will go a long way towards alleviating their anxiety or fears. Below are a few more potty training tips that you can use when the time has come:

* Potty training tip #1 - Let the child help pick out their pull-ups, if you plan to use them

* Potty training tip #2- Use a potty training book for interactive learning

* Potty training tip #3 - Get your child a small potty especially for them to use in the bathroom; this makes potty training less intimidating

* Potty training tip #4 - Give your child proper instructions on using their special potty

* Potty training tip #5 - Use visual aids for motivation, like a potty training chart

Potty training charts are also of immense help. A potty training chart is a chart of progress for a child, and works as a type of reward system (positive reinforcement). Potty training charts are used by daycare providers and child psychologists. You can put your child's name on the potty training chart, and use a smiley face sticker for each time that your child is successful in going to the potty. Potty training charts come in different sizes, with lots of colors and different characters. Using a potty training chart helps you involve your child in their potty training in a way that is fun for them.

Another potty training tip that parents sometimes fail to use is getting the child familiar with the potty, even if that means sitting on it and doing nothing. Just being familiar with the act of sitting on the potty will help stop the battles that can sometimes occur during potty training.

Here is the ultimate potty training tip: Don't yell or punish your child if they have an accident. This will only lead to regression with whatever progress you've made up until that point. If the child feels pressure, it will be harder for them to use the potty when they are supposed to. Conversely, if you get overly excited when they do go, they may also regress, feeling pressure to please mom or dad.

Unfortunately, you will probably be potty training your child when they are in the 'terrible twos', that is, when they are most inclined to challenge your authority as a parent. It is very important not to give in to this kind of behavior and let it escalate into a battle. If this happens, the process of potty training will be very slow. So keep your cool work with your child and make sure that your child is familiar with the potty before you begin.""

Your Baby Care Guide

Your Baby Care Guide: "Nobody knows your baby like you do! Mother Nature provided you with the ancient wisdom you need to take good care of your baby, it is in you blood, in your soul… but somehow, the manual to use that wealth was lost long time ago. You know you have it inside. It's your instinct, your mother’s inner voice, that voice that tells you when your baby needs you, that helps you to do the right thing in the right moment even when you never thought you could, just because your child is more important than anything else!

And what if you could unlock that inner knowledge ON DEMAND? Remove those cultural binds and release the proverbial mother hidden within you? How would you feel if you could have the information you really need available to you 24-7 in an easy to read, follow and take action guide?

No longer will you have to worry about what to expect and how to act based on your knowledge. Have the answer within your reach, just when you need it. Reduce the stress associated with parenting and learn how to manage your time and emotions to provide a happy home. Your baby will be ready for success in life and filled with confidence!"

5 Things Every Nursery Needs

As you prepare for the birth of your child, no doubt you have already set up a nursery for the new arrival. Between the baby shower and other items you may have purchased, there is no doubt the new baby’s nursery has every possible thing you could think of. Just in case, here are 5 things every nursery needs, and then some.

1. A cradle and crib are probably the most important pieces of furniture you will buy (or receive as gifts). Since your baby will most likely stay in your room for awhile, these would be your first choice. Later on, you can use the crib in the baby’s nursery. Or perhaps, you have a family tradition in which cribs and cradles are handed down from mother to child. How wonderful! In either case, you may already have these items covered. But, you will need to purchase a new crib mattress.

2. No doubt you have either received or acquired a mobile for the crib. With the variety of mobiles available today, you shouldn’t have a problem picking one out for your baby.
Incidentally, don’t forget the baby monitor. You will want to have this operational the minute your baby is in the nursery.

3. You will need a dresser for the baby. Depending on your color scheme, there are lovely dressers for babies. Check them out online or at your baby furniture store.

4. You will need a changing table for the baby as well. Depending upon the amount of space in the nursery, you can buy a changing table or one that can fit on top of the dresser. In any case, ensure it is safe and secure.

5. No nursery is complete without a rocking chair. Find a comfortable one for you, since you will be spending most of your time feeding and rocking your baby to sleep.

Here are some incidental items you may want to have in the nursery as well. Perhaps a little rocking chair with a beautiful teddy sitting on it, or other stuffed animals. How about some music to lull your child to sleep? A small CD player would be perfect. A blanket would also be appropriate to wrap around your shoulders during those cold nights when baby needs comforting or feeding.
