...The purpose behind this study is to not only learning about potty training, but to learn that meals and beverages play a role during this process. Of course, it is common sense that when one eats or drinks chances are they have to use the bathroom. For toddlers, it is a lot easier for them to have accidents after drinking juice or eating their nutritious meal. Parents need to know this. It is important to take your toddler to the bathroom after every meal and beverage. I found that it was easier for Gabriel to use the potty after his meals instead of before. For a while, it was a hassle for him to go. Week two, I started to put Gabriel on the potty before meals. It worked in the morning because he just woke up with a dry pull up, but before...

...Potty Training Potty training a child can be a challenge for any parent. There is no one way that guarantees successful outcomes. There are many different ways this can be accomplished. The trick is to find the method that works best for you and your child. Thus, this paper will aim to recognize the signs that your child is ready to begin this process, various equipment needed, helpful tips for success, and common problems related to this overall process. When to start potty training is different for each child. The age can be as early as ten months to up to thirty-two months old. Girls are usually ready to start around two years old, whereas boys may not be ready until three or even four years old. Signs that your child is ready to begin potty training is when your child tells you when they have to pee or poop, or takes off his/her diaper after peeing or pooping. Following you into the bathroom and flushing the toilet shows that your child is interested in the potty process. Putting on underwear or asking to put on big girl or big boy, or uses words, facial expressions, or they may go into a corner and squat or grunt when they are about to poop are also good indicators that your child is ready to begin potty training. (Sparrow, 2010)....

...Why bother potty-training? Doesn’t it come naturally? You would think it is a no-brainer for everyone that the earlier a child is exposed to the routine of potty training, the sooner they will achieve self-toileting ability than the child who starts later. But it is not so. Many people think that older children (4 years +) potty- train faster than those who are trained at a younger age (1 - 3 years). Common assumptions in the medical profession, contemporary child care, or in the community are: • Children cannot achieve independent toileting until the “myelisation of the sphincters” takes place – and attempts to toilet train before this time will be futile; • That “All children end up getting toilet trained anyway - did you ever see an adult who is not toilet trained?” • “Children toilet-train themselves eventually by the time they are four years old;” • “No one graduates from high school in diapers...” It’s true there are children who “train themselves.” These are usually children who grew up in a home environment where parents involved them by example and made available potty or toilet facilities to their children from birth, while not consciously calling it “training.”...

...Beginning to potty train your youngster can be a difficult process. While some children are ready at about two years of age, others are ready when they are much older. By starting to potty train too young, the process will just take you longer to complete. To determine if your child is ready to begin potty training, you need to evaluate his actions and how developed his understanding skills are. If your child can understand simple instructions and can ask questions, he should be capable of understanding potty training. If he shows interest in the in the potty chair or wearing underwear, he may be ready to begin his potty training. If your child can go two hours without wetting his diaper and has regular bowel movements, he is probably ready to be trained.

...Some ways a parent can benefit from potty training their children are: Save up to $80 a month by not having to buy expensive diapers and wipes. Run your errands and not have to carry a heavy diaper bag. Be able to use a public restroom and not look for a changing table. Help your child build their confidence. Steps on knowing your child is ready for potty training: Does your child seem interested in the potty chair or toilet, or in wearing underwear? Can your child understand and follow basic directions? Does your child tell you through words, facial expressions or posture when he or she needs to go? Does your child stay dry for periods of two hours or longer during the day? Does your child complain about wet or dirty diapers? Can your child pull down his or her pants and pull them up again? Can your child sit on and rise from a potty chair? Steps to prepare for potty training: Take your child into the bathroom with you. Talk about the advantages of being trained: no more diaper rash, no more interruptions for diaper changing, and the pleasure of being clean and dry. Discuss training as an important stage of growing up. Let your child practice lowering and raising training pants sometimes, or putting them on and taking them off. Have a potty chair in the bathroom and the child might sit on it even with clothes on, while you are in the bathroom yourself, but only if he or she wants to. Don’t scare him or her to sit on the potty just have the equipment in sight so they...

...Introduction Ever since the beginning of time, there have been people, both individuals and in groups, who fill the authoritative role of making decisions. People have the ability to make decisions for themselves by themselves and for others with others. An individual is sometimes in charge of decision-making for an entire team, group, or staff, or a group of people sometimes is in charge of an individual filling a role underneath their authority. Whatever the case or situation may be, there are effective and ineffective ways to utilize decision-making methods, which create either positive or negative results for a company, business, individual, and even family.

...enlgish 921 potty The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. Dogs were not always like this. Overtime humans have domesticated dogs into making them loving pets. At one point dogs were able to pee wherever they want, eat whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Now we provide our dogs boundaries and train them to become our best friends.

Adding a furry litte friend to the family sounds like a lot of fun and many would not think of it as such a difficult task to do since all dogs do is eat and play which obviously does not need to be taught to then but the hard part comes when it is time for them to relieve themselves and they choose do to this task on your living room floors, bedrooms, and bathrooms.

...Operant Conditioning Paper Sarah Bartley PSY 390 July 19, 2015 Richard Codd Operant Conditioning Since humankind has been in existence learning has shaped behavior and allowed for survival. Conditioning has been part of that learning experience whether humans were aware of it or not. However, we do have the work of great researchers like Pavlov and Skinner to thank for the knowledge and terminology to understand and explain human learning behavior. This paper will define and describe operant conditioning, compare and contrast positive and negative reinforcement, offer a scenario in which operant conditioning is used to shape behavior, and provide a reinforcement schedule for said behavior Describe Operant Conditioning Operant conditioning is the term coined by B.F. Skinner in 1937, which describes thee method of shaping behavior through reinforcement (Staddon & Cerutti, 2003). An operant refers to an intentional action that affects the surrounding environment (McLeod, 2015). Conditioning is a type of learning that associates a consequence with a specific or intentional action. Olson and Hergenhahn (2013), define operant conditioning as, “increasing the rate with which a response occurs or the probability of a response by arranging the situation so that the occurrence of that response is followed by reinforcement. (p. 428). It is also referred to as Type R conditioning (Olsen & Hergenhahn, 2013). Basically operant conditioning shapes behavior by introducing...

...centers. Anyone who is going to be around young toddlers should have vast amounts of knowledge on the subject and plenty of experience. Description: I introduced the potty to Emma when she was 18 months. I bought her one of those small potty chairs and explained to her this was her special potty. At this time I didn't yet push the potty we were just introducing it to her. I also would let her watch me use the toilet and explain to her "Mommy was going pee-pee on the potty like big girls do!" We will start with the basics to get full understanding of the topic. Toilet training is training a young child to use the toilet. Learning to use the toilet is a big step for toddlers and it can be difficult for some. Some children just seem to train themselves when they are ready, but many need some help from their parents. Parents see toilet training as an important milestone for their children and often become very concerned if it doesn't all go smoothly. For toddlers it is something new to learn. It is one of the steps from being a baby to fitting in with what other people want. A child isn’t ready for potty training until he/she is both physically ready and mentally ready. There are many signs that will show that the child is ready for potty training. A few of them include your child seems interested in the potty chair or toilet your child says that he or she would like to go to...

...Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning, created by Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, is a theory based on experiments performed on dogs. Classical conditioning is a way to explain how some of a person’s behavior is learned. This theory also offers the possibility to change a previously learned behavior and modify that behavior. Classical conditioning also teaches new behaviors such as training a dog new tricks or potty training toddlers. Classical conditioning changed how science viewed behavior and that any behavior can be changed or modified. Classical Conditioning Theory Pavlov theory of classical conditioning began when he was studying the condition of reflex at the age of fifty (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). During Pavlov’s reflex experements, he discovered that the dogs would begin salivating at the sight of food. Pavlov named this occurance the “psychic” relfex (Olson & Hergenhahn 2009). By using the dog’s response of salivating to the presentation of food, Pavlov created the classical conditioning theory. He noticed that when it was time for the dog to eat, he would begin salivating. Pavlov began a new experiment by introducing the sound of a bell before the dog was given his food. After some time, the dog began to salivate at the sound of the bell and not the sight or smell of the food. A conditioned response was formed when the dog began salivating at the sound of the bell. Before the conditioning, the dog would only salivate at the sight of food. The result...
