Potty Training Fun – With Signing Time!

By / 1 minute of reading

Here are two easy things you can do to help make potty training more fun: 1. Teach your child the sign for “potty.” Here’s how you do it: Make a fist. Put  your thumb between your first two fingers to make the letter “T” for toilet. Now shake your fist a little bit! This sign allows toddlers to tell parents when they need to go – even before they can say the word “potty.” Older children love this sign because it gives them a way to discretely tell an adult that they need to use the bathroom. 2. Watch the …

In the recently-released second edition of “Heading Home with your Newborn: From Birth to Reality,” published by the American Academy of Pediatrics*, authors Laura Jana, MD, FAAP and Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP comment on this phenomenon: “Infant sign language really does deliver on its promise of …
