Dr. Dobson: Use Rewards for Potty Training
Article Source: Sunherald.com
Question: Our 24-month-old son is not yet toilet-trained, although my mother-in-law feels he should be. Should we spank him for using his pants instead of the potty?
Dr. Dobson: No. I suggest that your mother-in-law cool down a bit. It is entirely possible that your child can't control himself at this age. The last thing you want to do is punish a child of any age for an offense that he can't comprehend.
If I had to err on this matter, it would be in the direction of being too late, rather than too early. Furthermore, the best approach to potty training is with rewards and encouragement rather than with punishment.
