The cleanliness of the child by removing the diaper is one of the necessary steps that, if achieved by himself, reaches the stage of reliance on himself and independence later in his life. However, to achieve this goal, the child must go through many stages before he can rely on himself. Hence, it is increasingly important to accompany him during this journey to the transition to self-reliance, through his education, encouragement and expression of pride of the parents.
To ensure that your child is healthy and have a nappy discharge, it is important to be aware of the following:
Your child's cleanliness is dependent on these steps
Timing is basic
Do not begin to teach your child the rules of hygiene early, but know the right timing so as not to fail or lose a sense of belonging to his body.
If the child is forced to be clean without diaper at a very young age, pediatric psychiatry indicates that this may lead to psychological problems such as night urination or chronic constipation.
Do not think that cleanliness is gaining from the first time. Even a child who is used to keeping his cleanliness may forget to go to the bathroom for a game. However, it is necessary not to be reprimanded when this happens.
Do not blame your child if he does not quickly pick up the principle of giving up nappy while maintaining cleanliness, even if the community and school maintain parents according to their ability to teach the child good habits, including maintaining cleanliness from a young age. In the end, the child alone decides when to keep it clean, when it's ready.
Do not back down. If the child starts getting used to removing the nappy, do not wear it again, even if you have to change his clothes many times during the day.
The words also effect
Do not use the words "urine" or "stool" to describe the filth so that the child does not analyze that grouting is something that must not be done to excite him, or that it is unnatural.
The child's "stools" are not filtered with dirt, because he will think that what comes out of his body is very dirty, it must be kept inside the body.
Do not leave the child alone, you should always remind him to enter the bathroom, even if he acquired this habit daily.
Do not reward him by buying gifts or allowing him to eat sweets and chocolate, but do not hesitate to verbalize your satisfaction and pride.
