While taking childcare caree classes one thing stood out when talking about potty training. I learned that there are 3 basic stages for the child. 1st The child knows he/she is wet/dirty. 2nd The child recognized that he/she is going peepee/poopoo. 3rd The child finally recognizes the signals before he/she goes potty. In this 3rd stage is where the child starts learns to control the muscles used to potty with. There is a particular muscle group that controls this and sometimes it takes a little longer to get this control. Just thought that might help. :-) Name: Email: Subject
