Avoiding the mess is however in the parent's hands and if the problems are tackled appropriately, the task could be simplified no end. In line with that, here are 3 pertinent potty training problems with their ideal solutions listed for you to benefit from:
Problem#1 - The Toddler Refuses To Use The Potty
A major problem with most toddlers in the initial phase of potty training is that kids refuse to use the potty and constantly find ways and reasons to avoid it. Even if you make them sit on the potty, they tend to run away.
Solution: The solution to this problem is simple. It is tough for kids, especially boys to sit still at one place and they are always "on the go". Make sure to lure them in some way or the other to stay on the potty for 5 minutes. It could be anything- allowing them to play with their favorite toy, a piece of their favorite fruit or anything at all.
Problem#2 - Accidents
Another problem that most parents face is that the toddlers wee or poop in hidden corners in the house even despite a considerable period of potty training.
Solution: Most parents resort to scolding or punishing the kid as a solution to the problem. This is however an incorrect approach and could lead to psychological problems or even stress in the child. The best way out is to bear it and clean up the mess while maintaining your cool. Do remind the child of the right conduct in a light tone though.
