Is it wrong for me to make my son change his own diapers ?!
Question: well they are actually pull-ups . he's 3.
Answers: well they are actually pull-ups . he's 3.
No. It will probably speed up his potty training. My mom made me clean myself up at 2 yrs.
Nah, he needs to be more independent.
Not unless he has taken a dump.
he can change them, sit in the poop or use the toilet, those are a 3 year olds options
I think it's ok as long as you're not attaching any shame to it.
Not wrong at all. Be handy for the messy clean ups until he gets a handle on it for himself. Once he has to start changing them he may opt for the potty.
A great age to start.
I do the same thing, I think the more we expect from them the more they'll do on their own and in the long run help us out a little.
No.
If he's old enough to be able to do it, he's old enough TO do it.
No not pull ups , he needs to learn how and he is 3 he just might need you help sometimes and guidance all the time but your on the right track he will be potty trained before you know it
Good luck
No, not at all!
he's big enough now.
If he can change them himselve he is old enough not to wear them
Edit: How long were you in Heildelberg? It made me think of all the beer I drank when I lived there and I had to post a question about it.
Nah, it's time for him to start wearing big-boy underoos..lol
Nope there is nothing wrong with tht as long as he didn't poop. You should try to potty train him away from pull ups now.
Weird. Might aa well let him run in the wild. At least that way, he wouldn't be fussed with that, and grow feriously independent. That's what you want, right? Or, at least, not be in your way.
If you're sitting on the couch with a Virginia Slim in hand watching General Hospital and hollering for him to wipe himself because you're too busy, there's a problem.
If you're making sure each incident is going smoothly, watching him the first few times then building confidence as he does it himself, then that is good parenting. Make sure and have some wipes handy so he can be clean and get him into a good handwashing habit. You rock mommy!
I think you need to get rid of pull-ups and get him big boy underwear. The pull-ups only prolong the potty training. Keep pull-ups only for being on the road, for a little while.
With the pull-ups he doesn't learn how it feels to need to go, until he goes. With only a few times, with his big boys underwear, he will recognize the feeling of needing to go and how to wait/hold it until he gets to the potty/toilet. And, now, they have the cutest little boy underwear. Get him some with whatever character he likes.
It might seem like more trouble, at first, but it's not. Just dump poop in toilet and wash! Pretty soon you won't have to buy pull-ups anymore!!
It will be like getting a raise!!
Nope. At age three, he needs to start being aware of the body functions so he can potty train. Making him change the pull up is no different than teaching him how to dress himself.
No. I change my own diapers.....I'm a big boy now...I'm 35.
He's old enough to take care of himself, in that area...!!
