63  Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Re: potting training on: May 23, 2009, 07:06:44 AM
Hey ghina,
I think I once read something on babycenter.com about training that helped me. Matbe it will help you.
They call it a potty training weekend. It's like a toilet training boot camp.
Basically, you set aside 3 days where you and a partner in training concentrate on training. You offer plenty of salty snacks and water( to encourage peeing) and let the fun begin.  wub
The kiddo runs around bare buns so they can run right to the potty themselves, and every time they go you make a big thing of it. It helps if you have a silly potty song and dance to do every time they get even a little bit in the potty. You might feel foolish at first, but whatever works, right? If your little one has an accident you gently remind them that pee-pee or poo-poo or whatever you call it goes in the potty, and have them help you clean it up. That way they will understand that we can't have it on the floor.
The best thing to use for accidents on carpet is pet stain remover. You can find it in the pet section at your local supermarket.
I used this and it really works. It takes away all stain and smell. I used a brand called OUT! It's made of natural enzymes that break down the stain and odor.
After a few days of this my daughter really got the hang of it and could run to the potty herself, plop down, and even give a good attempt at wiping. Then she would yell,"Yeah!!" to congratulate herself and join in our potty dance.
I think concentrating on training makes it seem like a big deal and not just a nuissance that interupts playtime.
My husband and I brought Emma with us to the bathroom when we went (to show her how it's done) and even did the potty dance for each other. I can see why she liked it. I felt like a champ every time I peed.  big grin
The idea of not having to wear any pants delighted my toddler. That was a real plus with potty training, however it became very hard to get her back into her pants after she experienced her newfound freedom. LOL She ran whenever I told her it was time to put on pants so we could go out.
When you do go out of the house during the potty training weekend make sure you know where the bathrooms.  The kiddo wears lightweight pants. No taining pants or diapers. It may confuse them, or make them feel it is ok to wet them. Basically you want to make outings brief with the goal of getting home dry. Make abig deal about that too, and constantly communicate. You know, "If you need to use the potty tell Mommy, and we'll go."
My daughter and I play "where is the restroom?" when we get to a place and search for it. She thinks this is a lot of fun and it reminds her to tell me if she needs to go.
Make sure to have extra clothes on hand for you and your child and your partner, too.
I got peed on once during our training. I had clean pnts for Emma, but not for me so it ended up looking like i wet my pants! rolleyes
Above all, be positive. Tell your child how proud you are every time they use the potty. Get everyone who loves them involved, too.
When we visit the Grands I exclaim how well Emma is doing on the potty, then they join in, telling her what a big girl she is.
After the weekend stay with your efforts. That means the babe goes pantless at home and wears lightweight pants when outside. No training pants. Leggings like Babylegs brand are good if it's chilly.
After 2 weeks of this my girl had it down.  She even gets up in the night to go potty if needs be. At first we put a diaper on only for nighttime. We explained each time we put it on that Emma was big now and only wore diapers at night because the pee might come out when she is sleeping. After a week of her being dry all day, we left the diaper off at night. She had a couple accidents, but after that she got up to use the potty.
We always use the potty after meals, before we leave the house, before bed, and any time she wants.
I got peed on, scrubbed some poop from the carpet and washed a lot of clothes and sheets for a few weeks. What a small price to pay to have my daughter potty trained. she has been dry for 2 weeks! Hooray!!!!!!!!!
I hope this helped. Do what works for you. Good Luck!

Jeimy34,
Thanks for the link to Librarything. Looks like a good list you've got . I think I'm going to start using this, too. What a great idea fir her to pick her books.

jaluitgirl,
Hmmm, very interesting....
You know, a lot of the kids I have known who were labeled ADHD happened to be super intelligent. Hmm...
66  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Re: Dolch Sight Words dvds on: May 15, 2009, 09:26:00 AM
Thanks! smile
They look good. I have beenl ooking for something with site words. I have been doing cards, which I would imagine to be boring for my daughter, but oddly she enjoys looking at words like; he, she, it, etc.
She is 19 mo. and is really figuring out language so she loves it when I break it down. I show the word, then I give a definition, then I use it in a sentance.
She cries," More,more,more!!!" and has begun using more filler words and correct pronouns.
 rolleyes Who knew?
67  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Encyclopedic Knowledge / Re: Fun Old Science Songs on: May 15, 2009, 09:11:40 AM
These are ridiculously fun! Don't know if the babe will like them, but I'm hooked, and I may learn something myself!
Thank you Cool
68  Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Re: Learning to use a spoon on: May 15, 2009, 09:02:08 AM
My daughter was pretty good with a spoon at a very youg age. Then she went back to eating with her fingers. Now at 19 mos. she wants to use a spoon agaain.
I think it is important to give the opportunity, but not stress about it. Kids do wht works. If Em can get a good scoop of sometning she uses her spoon. If she would rather pick it up with her fingers she does that.
Try puting old newspaper under the chair before you eat , and let 'em go wild! Also I always have towels handy.
I think making a big deal of it helps too. When Em started using her spoon agaain I would say," Look at that, Daddy! Emma is usiong a spoon just like Mama and Daddy do. What a big girl!"
Now when Emma uses her spoon she will say, "Daddy!!!", and hold her spoon up to show him. Of course, he oohs and ahhs and she is delighted.  smile

Thanks Agnes!!!!!!!!!!! big grin
This is what I was looking for with SM math. It is all such a mystery unless you can be in the program.
How many times a day do you recomend showing dots  ( day 1, day 2, day 3, etc.)?
70  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: ** D.I.Y. your own flash card NOW !!! 244 words, Free ** on: May 15, 2009, 08:41:45 AM
 smile thank you so much for your time and effort, babydad!
This eliminates fumbling with cards. May I humbly request some food and drink cards.
Maybe some nature, clothing, household objects.
Mainly I just wanted to thank you and applaud your effort.
 big grin
71  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Re: When to introduce Leap Frog Letter Factory in teaching to read on: May 14, 2009, 05:23:32 PM
We have watched the Leap Frog Letter Factory video. Emma likes the letters making sounds and the little ditty they sing, but gets bored with the story. tongue
 I think just having refrigerator magnets and playing with them works as well.
Since viewing Leap Frog we also sing " The a says AAAA, the a says AAAA. Every letter makes a sound, the a Says AAAA" like they do on the video. She dances along
  My 19 mo. old can't get her tongue around all the sounds yet. But she can name a word that starts with the same sound.

73  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / Re: help needed urgently regarding maths equations on: May 12, 2009, 07:01:49 PM
I also have trouble with this. My daughter always wants more, more, more of everything. She weeps, and she doesn't cry very much. I try to distract. She's not very distractable. She is very strong willed and determined. I don't want it to be a negative experience.
I also don't want her sitting in front of the computer all day. Any ideas on how to end on a positive note?
