Shattering the Myth of "Feeling the Wetness" 1. Only 1/2 of littles care about being wet
Wondering why your kiddo can sit in a wet diaper and be entirely unbothered? Wonder why when switching on over to underwear this continues to happen? Urine soaked underwear seems to be about as uneventful as breathing?
Only about ½ of littles respond to “feeling the wetness.” Children 3 and over don’t seem to care about it whatsoever. This of course makes this process seem Everest-tall when nearly every online source out there tells parents to put underwear on their kiddo for potty training.
Underwear at the beginning stages of potty training, what The Potty Nanny refers to as “Block 1” is not going to be fruitful. It just isn’t. Instead, The Potty Nanny is going to walk you through how to keep your little naked from the waist down until 80% of pees and 1-2 poops have landed in a potty OR you have reached the limit of 10 full days going naked from the waist down, having gone nowhere and done nothing for those 10 days besides potty training.
Why only 10 days, you might be thinking? Beyond 10 days and you risk creating an “only potty trained while naked” kiddo. We don’t want that. Clothes are necessary in society. Speaking of clothes, head on over here when your little is getting 80% of pees and those 1-2 poops in a potty. There’s a whole other blog that shepherds parents through from Block 1 (Going Naked from the Waist Down) to Block 2 (Going Commando Under Loose-Fitting Short Trousers).
Other major challenges revolve around what to do when your daycare won’t allow x, y or z. The Potty Nanny has you covered! This is a complex topic, so this information is available here.
