Question Any potty training advice?

Has anyone here completed potty training for their young one with cp? Cause I need some help. My daughter (2 1/2) has right side hemi cp. Is she too young for potty training considering her disability? Everything I have read on the the subject only applies to AB kids. Info from yall with cp would be great if you can remember from that young age.

Thanks,
Melissa

I do not know much about small kids or potty training, but my mother once told me that she pottytrained me by using a "signal voice": every time she put me on the potty chair, she said "urr urr", and gradually, every time a felt a need to go the potty chair, I said "urr urr" too
I've understood that this method made my potty training process quicker and easier than usually.

I just found a website about hemiplegic children, which among other things dealth with potty training a child with hemiplegia. There were some advice: the potty chair should be very stable, the toilet paper roll should be placed on the child's non-affected side, the child's pants should be easy to pull down (loose fitting elastic waist pants are said to be the best).

I'm not sure how severely your child is affected. We did fine with our son, but frankly, two is too young. They just don't have the control yet. Three is more like the age -- for any child. At least that's our and most of our friends' experience. Hang in there and be patient. I'd wait a bit yet to start.

Re: Any potty training advice?

Hey yall,

I might have to try that signal voice stuff. I think I tried everything with my son (4) and he still uses it on himself unless you tell him to go to the potty. I've been working with him on p-training since 1 1/2. Hopefully it will be alot easier with my daughter.

I've tried some p-training with her but wasn't sure if I was doing it too soon. She has a mild (sorry musicmaker ) hemiparesis cp, so I first thought she shouldn't have a problem so long as I helped her with her clothing. She can walk. Her talking is limited to a few words (no sentences) but she seems to understand words and instructions very well.

Zagreus, how long did it take your son to get p-trained?

Thanks,
Melissa

Re: Any potty training advice?

The basics came pretty quickly, a couple of months, with accidents here and there and some backsliding along the way. But his younger sister came along during potty training -- it was quite a blow! I think that's right. Gosh, it seems like ancient history now!
His sister, however, followed a pretty similar pattern. Maybe this is all genetic?
