In The Secret Skills of Margo Pargo: Potty Professional, Margo Pargo decides she is ready to start using the potty because she believes she is a big kid - and is eager to surprise and impress the adults in her life. She also understands some basics about the business of being human: we eat, we drink, we go potty. She even notices that when we use the potty, we can hear and see our success: "Shhh - listen!" she tells her family.
Margo Pargo makes the connection that many of the amazing things she can do (standing on one foot, counting to ten, etc.) are sure signs that she is getting bigger. So when she makes up her mind to use the potty, there is no stopping her.When it comes to teaching a child to use the potty, there is no one-size-fits-all method. Every child is on his or her own timeline. By staying positive and thinking through a developmentally appropriate approach, you will allow your child to take the lead - just like a big kid.
