On Toilet Training

On toilet training...

Toilet training as early as 6 months of age makes a child sensible and responsive to the mother's early implementation of code of discipline. At 6 months of age, a mother can make her child urinate before bedtime (say at around 8pm), then after 3 1/2 hours ( around 11:30 pm), then after 3 1/2 hours again (around 3am) and finally in the morning when the child wakes up. The mother would just have to be patient putting the bedpan on top of the bed, letting her child sit on it ( or stand by the side of the bed if the child is a boy) and gently whisper to the ear of her child saying "wee wee, wee wee now my dear". Believe me, the child will respond and and the mother could happily say "Goodbye to diapers and wet beds." I am a mother and now a grandmother too, and I am speaking by experience.

Of course doing this requires a lot of patience and discipline on the mother too in this odd job of toilet training. You have to set your alarm clock every 3 1/2 hours, empty and wash the bedpan as well, but you are saving a lot of your money being wasted on disposable diapers.

Here is the most important matter on this issue of early toilet training...your child learns to be sensitive, responsive, obedient at an early age. Children who uses disposable diapers and not toilet trained till more than a year old are usually the ones who ignore what adults tell them. Why?...because that is the way they were trained in prolonged use of disposable diapers, to be callous and simply don't care!

I don't want the manufacturers of disposable diapers to get me wrong here, I am not against their products, in fact I encourage parents to use disposable diapers for their child yes, of course for the sake of their slumber and their health...but healthwise it should be only for a while, until the child is 6 months of age , the time they can start training the child. What I advocate here is responsible parenthood, responsible consumption and responsible preservation of our natural resources.
