A wildly popular character teaching a valuable skill, the potty elmo doll encourages tots to try the potty for themselves. By playing with a toy, the concept of using a toilet is introduced to your child in a way that makes it easy to understand. With pre-recorded sayings, your child may begin their toilet training by mimicking the toy. Paying careful attention to your child's outward behaviors may let you know when it's time to try using the potty, and having a doll to model their actions after is a great way to teach your child how to respond to their body's natural processes with a visit to the bathroom.
Many methods of learning can be employed to help a child learn to use the toilet, and the example of potty elmo uses a familiar face to bring the message of potty training to a child. By seeing the doll use a potty, the child will become more comfortable with the idea of doing the same thing themselves. If Elmo can do it, they can too. Combining the powerful tool of an example with copious praise will help your child learn faster by presenting the information in different ways. The celebration of their successful attempts will help them remember what to do next time they feel that sensation which lets them know it's time to potty. This is called positive reinforcement, and is known to be a very powerful means of teaching new skills.
With a toy like potty elmo to encourage the discussion of learning how to use the toilet like a big kid, it's easy to introduce a child to the concept. By including fun the process of your child's learning to use the toilet, you'll ensure that they have a healthy self esteem and confidence. The praise and celebration of their successful attempts along with the encouraging example of a favorite character will help a child master using the toilet. The growing independence of the child should be noted as a milestone achievement, they are a big kid now. Using the potty elmo to help children become comfortable with the idea of using the toilet is a smart way to show how it's done without being graphic.
