Another striker who, Angela in recent months has become a trade union movement of the "no to the potty."
We started to constantly practice the 'natural hygiene when she was about 4 and a half months, and then hits (always dry at night, always poop in the potty, several days of dry pannoli), such that I thought to start to store some stock pannoli washable.
Then in early November, coinciding with the first tick of the canines, began the protest buckles back, stiff legs, cries, total refusal to sit on the potty. At first we did not understand, and we were very puzzled by this behavior, especially since we saw him leave spannolinamento.
consult the two books I had bought ECI (see here and here), I reread the parts on the so-called "strikes the potty." Among the most common causes of these strikes, there are some stages of development, the eruption of teeth and other discomforts physical, but also unexpected moments of distraction, such as when a child begins to walk and explore the world.
News are many and exciting for the child, who is so taken by the new discoveries totally lose interest in 'use of the potty training for weeks or even months. In this situation it becomes important to find the right moment to offer the potty, so as not to "interfere" with what he is doing so much interest, and consequently incurring in protests.
Other situations that may cause the strike are traveling, moving house, guest house, quarrels between parents, the arrival of a brother or sister, exchange for babysitting, in short, all those events that can cause a little stress to the child.
For myself, I always saw the EC as a non-training (horrible word) of the child, but understand his needs as a elimination, in the same way it tries to catch his needs for nourishment , sleep, etc.. Fortunately, the fact that the child does not mean that strikes forget: it is simply focused on other things that he considers most important.
Now I'm trying to let go and not be too negative, I'm appreciating the washing of diapers that Angela has, however, I have saved up in the strike, I I'm inventing new ways to propose to the potty and when I find the pannolo dirty or wet, I say with a smile that does not matter, that can happen and it will get better next time.
After four months of strike, I think that things are slowly improving. I know that the improvements will also depend in large part by our parents and how we manage to avoid the claim, to assume linear ways, be disappointed, thinking he had done something wrong. Will we succeed?
