The Jury Is Out Whether A Potty Training
Doll Is A Useful Tool Or Not
If you have been doing some research about how to potty train
your child, chances are that you may have heard about a potty
training doll which is supposed to be a wonderful tool that can
help your child understand what potty training is all about.
However, before you rush out and buy a potty training doll, it
would be advisable to pause and think about whether using a potty
training doll will indeed prove to be worthwhile and whether it is
in fact a necessary tool or not.
It is certainly a good idea to first of all look closely at what
a potty training doll is and see how it can benefit your child so
that you can decide whether to use it or not. Essentially, a potty
training doll is a special kind of tool that is able to pee and
which also comes with its own potty chair along with training
pants. It also has a bottle from which the doll drinks water that
is then expelled, usually when the doll is sitting on the potty
chair.

Benefits
So, now that you are acquainted with what a potty training doll
is and what it does, it is time to find out how it will benefit
your child in learning potty training. To begin with, once the
child starts to get interested in using the toilet, it would be the
right time to introduce your child to the doll and encourage them
to feed the doll with some liquids and then put the doll on the
potty chair.
Next, you need to inform the child about how grown-ups use their
potty and that they do not pee into their diapers and at the same
time you and your child should watch the doll pee into the potty
chair. This should help establish a connection of sorts in the mind
of your little one. And if you then ask the child to imitate what
the doll does, it may result in desirable action on the part of
your child.
The fact of the matter is that many children will show interest
in copying what their potty training doll does and will thus become
more amenable to also doing the same when it is time for them to
pee. However, often children may even have an opposite reaction and
may actually develop a fear or may not show much interest in doing
what the doll does, In such cases, it may not prove to be a very
useful tool.
Thus, the jury is out whether using a potty training doll will
indeed prove to be a big help in teaching your child how to potty
in the appropriate manner.
