Lesson 3 of 5 -

 

In today's lesson, I am covering consistency and why it is absolutely critical for your child's success. 

Of all the actions you will take while potty training your son or daughter, nothing will be more important than being consistent. 

Consistency will give your child a good basis and strong background to be guided by. When you are consistent, your child learns what is expected of them faster.   

Additionally, consistency keeps the child from learning any bad habits. As any parent knows, it is much easier to start a new habit than it is to get rid of an old one.   

If you are consistent you won't have to worry about the bad habits your son or daughter might pick up. 

When you are not consistent, your child gets the message that it is ok.  Make it easy for your child and be consistent.

There is a whole chapter (ch. 7, pg. 46) in the book that goes over consistency. This should give you a good indication how important  this particular topic is.   

I would say the number one reason why potty training takes some parents longer than others is lack of consistency.  

There are many areas that you want to be consistent in that will affect your success in getting your child potty trained.  They include: 

  • Words used
  • Bed time
  • Waking time
  • Nap time
  • Activities
  • Involvement
  • School
  • Life events

And that's just to name a few. I cover many others in "Potty Training Made Easy, Simple & Fast."  You can get more details in chapter 7. 

If there is one thing I want to get across to you in today's lesson is the need for you to be consistent.  If you are not consistent, don't even bother wasting your time.  Nothing you do will work.   

I hate being so blunt, but I want you to succeed, and to that you have to be told the truth. 

Tomorrow's topic will be: "Who's The Boss."
