Mybabyian, I so understand the difficulty of potty training. I had read an article about the best age to start potty training was between 2 and 2 1/2, which was when we began. I am glad I waited as long as I did, because I don't think it would have gone as well for us. He matured just enough to understand. When you show the child the doll having an accident and running from the potty to the accident, you are showing them that anywhere else other than the potty is not okay and to quickly run back to the potty! So after they have seen it happen with the doll, they understand and begin to recognize that its bad to go anywhere but the potty. I only had to do this a few times with Winston. Now I still have to remind him to go potty. He doesn't always tell me when he has to go. If I don't take him to the potty, he will 50% of the time have a wet spot. This method is wonderful for the fact that you are not confusing your child by going back and forth to diapers. I really liked that part of it! And I encourage you to read the article I linked on my blog. The author explains it in much greater detail than I do and was the one that introduced me to this idea. You are so brave to do the EC method!! I don't know if I could have done it at all
! I hope you have great success with this! Nee1, thank you for your links and helpful information! I didn't even know there was a book about it
Many blessings to you...Skylark, I think you both are so smart to do what you did! That is wonderful
