Toilet Teaching Tips for Working Parents

Dr. Kroeger and her team work with children for five to six days to achieve their results. But if you're a working parent, and can't spend days in the bathroom, Dr. Kroeger suggests a modified approach.

She recommends starting by carefully recording when your child is urinating and making a bowel movement. Based on that schedule, you can sit your child on the toilet when you know he's most likely to go to the bathroom. The more often you do it, the better, since it gives your child more opportunity to be successful, win motivating prizes, and reinforce positive behavior.
