Baby Sign Language is a communication method designed to be used with hearing babies and toddlers before they can speak. It is a simplified version of sign language designed to be easy enough for baby's to use from 6 months of age. The baby signs are often borrowed or modified from traditional sign language. These baby signs are based on gestures that symbolize the action or meaning of a word and are designed so that they can be understood...more

If the child,adolescent, or teenager is embarrassed about wearing the diapers and plastic pants to bed there are a number of different ways you can encourage them. First,you can stress how much more comfortable it will be waking up in a dry bed. Second,you can have them go to different chat rooms and online forums(with a younger child it's a good idea to supervise them while they are doing this) so they can talk to people in similar circumstances. There are many online forums and chat rooms dealing with bed-wetting and other incontinence issues. Sometimes it helps to have a sympathetic ear and to realize there are other people in the same boat.Third,you should tell them that there are a large number of adults that wet the bed and many of them also wear night diapers. I would let the child know that they probably feel a bit self-conscious wearing diapers also but they understand that ultimately it's in their best interest to wear them. I've read about cases where one or more parents have bed-wetting problems but their children don't. The parent might originally feel embarrassed about wearing diapers to bed but many times the children are understanding and...more

Potty training is not a race, and there is no evidence that early potty trainers are any more successful or happy as adults compared to those who potty trained a little later. So give yourself permission to take the time to understand your child and understand the best things you can do to facilitate the process. Potty training is something your child must want to do. Help your child to feel comfortable about the potty by letting him/her sit on the potty fully clothed while you tell him/her about the toilet, what it's for and when to use it. Potty training is not an area to enter into any kind of battle. You will always lose; everyone involved will lose. Potty training is an issue parents really don't have control over. You have to make the child want to do it, rather than enforce it. Potty training is enough to drive even the most patient parent to exasperation. Help is only a few dollars away when you can buy anything from musical potty seats to diapers with colorful shapes that disappear when they get wet.Potty training boys is particularly difficult for mothers because of the anatomical differences that exist between mother and son. Many mothers find that it is...more
