Dan Bucatinsky: More Than I Can Chew
Melissa Joan Hart stars in potty training video
Filed under: Toddlers Preschoolers, Development/Milestones: Babies, Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents
Melissa Joan Hart's career is in the toilet. Literally. The Sabrina the Teenage Witch star will be featured in online video diary that details her two-year-old son Mason's potty training progress. The video will be put out by Kimberly-Clark, who manufactures Pull-Ups, and will offer tips to help parents through the (damp, desperate) throes of potty training. The video diary will start in June and run through July at Pull-Ups.comEveryone has their own way of doing things, but after potty training dozens of kids in my former school program and my own two kids, I think pull up-type diapers are a waste of time. I always preferred the old school method with a nice, thick pair of cotton training pants and a very watchful eye. That, and waiting until the kids were truly ready to be trained as well.
Either way, watching a parent and toddler-in-training may help new parents get a feel for how the process works. For more tips on getting that kid out of diapers for good, see what's worked for other parents.

Julia said...I have two girls.
My first trained easily in one day when she was 2 and 1/4 years old. I took off the diaper and let her have an accident. She hated the feeling and rushed to the bathroom the next time she had to go, but didn't get there in time. By the end of the day, she made it and never had an accident since. She even woke up in the middle of the night to go, didn't use any pull-ups even during the night.
My second daughter could care less about the feeling of soiled clothing. She was too busy playing and wouldn't clean herself up. It was a struggle, but I did use the pull-ups to make life easier on myself (less laundry). We started when she was 2 and she was trained by 4. She is now almost 6 and still wears a pull-up to bed at night. We give her no food or beverage after 6 and make sure she uses the toilet before bed at 8. Her dr. says she is a heavy sleeper and her behavior is normal. Some kids wear pull-ups to bed until after age 9. I hope that isn't the case, but at least I know it's okay.
Pull-ups or not, parents should choose what fits into their lives. People shouldn't judge others. We all love our children.
