How it works
- 1~40s
Start by placing the toy potty near your child without any fanfare. Just let them notice it naturally. Watch how your child approaches this new object. Does they touch it, look at it curiously, or maybe even try to sit on it? Some babies might be hesitant at first — that's completely normal. Tell me what you notice about your child's first reaction.
Watch for: Baby shows curiosity about the new potty object — touching, examining, or attempting to interact with it.
- 2~45s
Now let's make it playful! Take a doll or stuffed animal and demonstrate sitting it on the potty. Use simple, happy words: 'Look, teddy is sitting on the potty! Good job, teddy!' Make it a fun game. Then see if your child wants to try putting the doll on the potty too. Does they imitate your action? Does they show understanding of the pretend scenario?
Watch for: Baby imitates parent's pretend actions with the doll and potty, showing understanding of pretend play.
- 3~50s
For our last step, let's make the potty part of a familiar routine. You sit on the floor with the potty nearby while your child plays. Casually mention, 'Oh, teddy needs to use the potty!' and repeat the doll routine. Then see if your child initiates any potty-related play on their own. Does they seem more comfortable with the potty now? Does they incorporate it into their play naturally?
Watch for: Baby shows increasing comfort with potty-related objects and incorporates them into play routines.
