One of the most difficult task of parents is teaching their child how and when to use the bathroom. It is more difficult if you have to potty train a child with autism, as you have to make extra effort than an average child.
My daughter after so many years of training still has a lot of miss than hits especially when mommy is not around and granny is her only companion. You see kids know who they can manipulate and who they should obey.
When I was potty training (actually I still have to remind her as often as I could since my daughter doesn’t mind what she is doing most of the time) I have to try so many techniques like taking her to the bathroom every 15 minute and introducing her the toilet, when I see the “signs” that she is ready to go I take her to the toilet and sing songs until she goes. We even play games in the toilet but not as extreme as a game of potty putter, but we do play some hand games. I even tried leaving her in the toilet and would come back with her all wet and the toiletries all over the place!
Having a child at home is a lot of work, you always have to be alert all the time, but its also fun and rewarding when you see them learn and achieve a milestone.
How about you? How was your potty training experience with your child?
