The potty is installed in many houses when the "diaper operation" is near. Nowadays there are very striking urinals, of design, of funny shapes and colors for the little ones, that have little to do with the “buckets” that were used to put them next to the bed and not have to go out to the cold when the toilets They were far from the room, even when they were a hole outside the house.
Nor is it that the urinal is installed permanently, as it is usually a transitional “utensil” between the diaper and the toilet. But, although I placed it a while ago between the small steps to leave the diaper, I am not so sure that it really serves to give them the push to do it or if it is better that they use the toilet directly.
Well, directly not at all, because since the dimensions of the toilet would cause them to "sneak" through it if we don't hold them, it might be fine to use a seat reducer So they feel comfortable. So as "incentive" to leave the diaper, apart from the use of the toilet itself, like the elderly, may be the use of the reducer, which also usually have childish designs.
My two-year-old daughter seems to be increasingly prepared to leave the diaper. However, although with the older one we use the potty for a few days, I doubt that with the little one we will.
For Mar it was a game to pee or poop out of the toilet. He carried the potty from here to there, and also made his needs sometimes outside the potty. Not that they escaped, no, it is that it was prepared and placed to make them in the most unexpected places, except the toilet. Now in the potty, now on the little table (yes, yes, on the little table), now on the carpet, now under the chair ...
So after using it for a few days, I'm not sure it would help much. And all this, leaving aside that it is a difficult tool to use outside the home, so if you get used to it, what do you do when you want to urinate outside the house to pee?
To you, or rather to your children, was the potty useful in any way? Or do you think it unnecessarily lengthened the process of going to the bathroom?
