Oh Crap! Potty Training

Your poop values are going to be passed on to your child, period. If
you don’t like poop, your child won’t either. If you think it’s the most
disgusting thing in the world, so will your child. If you can poop only
at home, chances are, your kid will be the same way.
None of that is intended as judgment. It’s just fact. Some parents
are weird about poop, but they expect their child to poop on a potty
sitting in the middle of the living room. Yeah. No.
Now, maybe you think you’re chill about poop. That’s cool. But
are you really? A good sign of your true “chillness” is your response to
the suggestion that your child be in the bathroom with you while you
poop. If you’re fine with that (or if that’s how it already goes down in
your house), great. If you are opposed to the idea, ask yourself why.
It’s probably a good indication that you’re not as chill about poop as
you think you are.
I suggest that before beginning potty training, you make it a point
to have your child in the bathroom with you while you poop. This is
the best way to model the potty behavior you’re going to be teaching.
Your child can see that pooping might sometimes take several
minutes. That people sometimes grunt or make facial expressions.
And they see that poop falls out of you, into the toilet, and nobody
dies because of it. These are all very valid reasons to have your child
see you poop. You don’t have to have them with you every time. In
fact, it’s just as valuable to once in a while announce that you have to
go poop and you’d like some privacy. This is a good way to introduce
this word and notion.
