Table of Contents
Introduction
Toilet training, I believe, is part of an overall urge towards independence and self-reliance that is natural for every child growing up. It is not something you do for children but rather something you help them learn for themselves.
One way you can help is by letting your child understand what to expect and what’s expected. With that in mind, the story of KoKo Bear, a loveable little bear, will set an example for your child. KoKo Bear’s transition from diapers to independent use of the toilet is a delightful story that you and your child will enjoy reading again and again.
To help you make this a smooth transition, there are tips and suggestions for parents and caregivers on every page. You can skim these silently while you and your child read about KoKo. For more detailed material and additional tips, you may wish to refer to my companion book, Practical Parenting TOILET TRAINING.
Every child is different, therefore readiness for toilet training will be slightly different for each child. Flexibility, gentleness and generous use of praise on your part can make this an easy and pleasant time for both of you.
Please remember, if you find yourself frustrated about your child’s progress, that toilet training is a teaching and learning process, not an obedience issue nor a test that must be passed on any set date.
Sincerely,
This is KoKo Bear. KoKo used to be a tiny little bear cub.
Now KoKo is growing up. Doing things for yourself is part of growing up.
What things can you do for yourself? Can you brush your teeth? Can you dress yourself?
• Praise your child for independent behavior and attempts at self-help.
• Discuss with your child the things he or she can already do independently.
• Encourage your child’s sense of self and control over his or her own world by allowing the extra time it takes to perform these tasks.
KoKo wears diapers. When a diaper is dry, it feels comfy and cozy. KoKo likes the way a dry diaper feels.
Sometimes MaMa Bear asks, “KoKo, does your diaper still feel dry?”
KoKo thinks and says, “Yes, MaMa, it’s dry.”
• Help your child learn to recognize and identify the sensations of dryness and wetness by using the terms “wet” and “dry” whenever you change a diaper.
