potty learning with limited language

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My son just turned 2 and I'd like to start getting the idea of using the potty

in his head. I have been hesitant to start until now (and am still unsure about

how it will go) but now seems as good a time as any. I don't expect to get him

learning to use the toilet in a short time but I just want to start introducing

it. He has limited language skills (although they're improving all the time!!)

-- both receptive and expressive.

He has his own potty that he likes to play with and sit on with his

clothes/diaper still on. Also, he likes to be in the bathroom when other people

are using it, and he puts toilet paper in the toilet and claps for himself after

he flushes, haha. I know there are other signs that kids are ready for potty

learning and he doesn't really tell me when his diaper is wet or dirty but he

will sometimes posture when he is going/has gone and will waddle when his diaper

is dirty at times also. I am teaching him the signs for diaper and potty (still

working on it).

I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to begin!

Gratefully,

e
