welcome to episode 5 of our channel mum
potty training videos I'm gonna be here
with Amanda Jenna who is our potty
training expert now we've already talked
about the signs of when our children are
ready the equipment we might need and
the general how to's of how to get your
child potty trained but right now
there's no sugarcoating it it's time to
talk about poo Amanda where do we start
[Music]
so who is one of the biggest email
problems that I get sent to me we know
we've got poo - sofas folding it in not
washing to do a poo
so mr. poo is a bit of a pain well let's
have a little look at how these mums got
on with the poo scenarios and you have
see what their experiences were in the
morning before we left I'd say to have a
same baby if you need to go to the
toilet and go now he would go and do it
number two he understood it very much
like he was very responsive to that and
I made a joke that he was like cooing on
demand
every time that Harrison needed or told
me that he was hiding initially I would
just grab a party but I don't know
darling going the potty and we would
again make the biggest he allowed a
you're such a big boy I have a said well
done like clapping dancing literally
you've never seen anyone be so excited
about poo in your life that's really
amazing because I think that's quite
unusual to have a child that really just
who's on demand like mine never did no
fantastic me that's amazing that you
know that that that's not actually
typical unfortunately but that's great
you know that he's actually willing to
go you know who when they gave to a poo
they're actually have to do more than
just having a wee you know sometimes
they have a bad experience where they've
had a they've been constipated it hurts
when I go through poo when we actually
get to the nitty-gritty of it with the
parents and saying it has he had a bad
experience when he's done a pool had a
sore bottom that's normally the reason
why they don't mind doing it okay so I
then go back in the kitchen to tidy up
some more and next minute she said there
were two monkeys in her party so I would
enter the living room and look then and
sure enough she'd done a number two she
really quickly picked up there he's and
who's had to go somewhere and every
half-hour we'd asked to go do you need
to go on the party'd you need a pee and
she would sit on it and most the time
she would actually do something but
others you know there was a lot of
slip-ups there was a lot of messes she
obviously understood that she got a lot
of praise around going on the party then
we took her to the toilet with us to
flush it away and every time we flush it
she goes by piece by poos well
messes we know that that's gonna be
something that we have to deal with you
will get a lot of children that we will
put in their pants and what I suggest
you do with that is you take the pants
with the poo in and take the child to
the toilet or the potty and tip the poo
if it's not runny okay into the potty or
the toilet and show them where it goes
and then we sort of wave bye-bye to mr.
poo and we do a big song and dance about
it and that's the only way we're going
to teach them by just whipping it off
and jam it down the toilet
without them seeing it it's not good
it's not gonna help we need to put some
fun back into a poo - doing a piece Oh
rewards for a poo different rewards from
doing away I've really advised that the
Box really works for that or the stars'
so at the end of the week they can count
how many stars they've got how many
blues they've done and pick something
out of the box or do something they like
doing with their parents we just need to
encounter them and when they are doing
it say are you doing a poo you know in a
nice something else you know no no no no
don't do it there because we don't want
to scare them you know it's just I
suddenly said that's happy yeah and they
stopped yeah and that's when they gonna
get constipated so we need to make them
feel it's okay to do it if they do get
constipated what do you do in that
instance so first of all we need to find
out why they're constipated so if
they're holding it in because obviously
they're scared about doing it then
that's something we have to do with the
rewards and everything else if they're
constipated because of the foods they're
eating
we need to give them some good what page
to get the poo to loosen up so you know
pairs
popped popcorn it can be sugar-free yes
that's really really good for
constipation as well lots of
strawberries tomatoes and lots of fluids
as well so if we can soften up the poo
so it's not going to hurt them when
they're actually doing it then you'll
find that it will actually come in time
that they will actually be okay with it
your concern that your child's really
really constipated obviously go and seek
medical advice
yeah are there any key differences with
helping them to train to poo on the
potty or on the loo
compared to just going for a wee there
is I mean we use just come really
naturally to children but it's always
the poos that are a problem so don't
make a big issue of it you know get
Louise going okay but they do tend to do
one poo a day unless they've had
obviously lots of excess of something
that makes them go more but you can sort
of judge what time of the day they do it
when they're toddlers so they don't
either do first thing in the morning or
last thing at night so when you think
you know it's about their time or you
know as a parent they haven't been just
keep an eye out you know them shuffling
about or they've disappeared all of a
sudden you will know when they're about
to do it know if they if it's bath time
and they have a being sometimes they
might go after the jug ready yeah or
they're in a warm bath and that can
actually help them go that's it's not a
really good tip if they actually do it
in the bath we'll get a lot of that as
well just scoop it up yeah off and do
the same tip it down the toilet
and showing where it goes yeah Amanda
