Quick answer
Potette Potty Training Flash Cards help reduce potty-training frustration by teaching your toddler simple British Sign Language signs to communicate their needs before they can speak.
Why sign language helps with potty training
Many toddlers understand more than they can say, which can lead to frustration when they need the potty but can't express it. Teaching a few basic signs gives them a way to tell you they need to go, even before they have the words.
The Potette Potty Training Flash Cards use British Sign Language (BSL), a visual and physical method that many young children pick up quickly. This can make the potty training process smoother for both you and your child.
What the cards include and how to use them
The set includes 9 educational cards, each showing a sign related to potty training. You can introduce one card at a time, practice the sign together, and use it consistently when your child is on the potty or shows signs they need to go.
Keep the cards in a place where you and your child can see them easily, such as near the potty or on the fridge. Regular, short practice sessions are more effective than long ones.
Diagnosing potty-training communication problems
- Symptom: Your toddler seems to understand potty training but has accidents because they can't tell you they need to go.
- Likely cause: They lack the words or a consistent way to communicate the need. This is common before speech is fully developed.
- Corrective action: Introduce Potette Potty Training Flash Cards and teach a few BSL signs like 'potty' or 'toilet'. Practice daily and use the signs every time your child needs the potty. Consistency is key: use the signs yourself and encourage other caregivers to do the same.
- When to stop or choose another option: If your child shows no interest in signs after several weeks, or if communication issues persist, consider consulting a health visitor or pediatrician. The cards are a tool, not a replacement for professional advice.
