I have been having difficulty putting my son to his potty every time he wants to poop. He knows how to pee in the toilet but pooping in the there is the hardest thing he can do. And there are times that i have to spank him because he'd rather hold it than going to the toilet and of course i don't like him doing that or he'll get sick. Keep trying to explain it to him that there is nothing wrong going to the toilet, it's just the same as he goes to the toilet when he feels like peeing. But earlier, i was really happy when he finally did it, he made it! And i am so proud of him. I keep on praising him that he is a smart and good boy, that he did a great job! He was a little scared still but i told him if he don't do it this time, i am not going to take him whenever i go somewhere. So he made it finally and this is just the start that i have been waiting for. From now on, i am sure he will be smart enough to realize that going to the toilet is the proper way to do.

sweetytots.
sweet, pretty, naughty
Hi sweetytots, Girls are very different from boys. Every mothers knows that. It's hard to potty train the boys than the girls. Girls are easy to discipline than boys. do you have son?
Hahaha so cute little fellow... I could just imagine how would I train my son to do the potty too., he's 10 months now.
Lucky you! I'm still changing soiled diapers. He is going to be so mad at you when he's older for putting those pics up. LOL
Davida
looking at these photos reminds me of my daughter:)
Your son is going to be so mad when he grows up and finds out that you posted these pictures of him on the internet in front of millions and millions of eyes.
I am sure he won't. I know my son better than anybody else. And he will understand that keeping his childhood pictures is part of his growing.
LOL! Those pics are adorable! *giggles*
super duper cute. well done to him and to you :)
Your sons pictures remind me of my younger son when I was training him. I have two sons. I took pictures of them on the potty. Now that they are older I love those pictures and so glad I took them. You are right, boys are harder to train. I had more fun training my older son than my younger. My younger son was very stubborn, but we made it just like you have with your son. Congratulations!
Thank you so much for dropping by guys.
@ Nicole: Thank you so much Nicole!
@ Natalie & Nicole: Thank you so much for the compliments.
@ Becky: Thank you for sharing your experience about your boys. And yeah, like i said, i don't think my son will get mad on me just because i post his pictures here, he's smart enough to understand all this. As long as i am not posting that against the law then i am good. I don't want my son to get humiliated of course. This post is just my keepsake that will remind me always that he did a pretty good job.
Spanking him for something he doesn't always have control over at such an age?
It made me look at other photos to see if he looks happy or introverted.
Boys are different than girls and are later with some things and fall back in time more often too.
Be prepared that when he'll get the flu or something else, he might fall back and loose control.
Some parents think the child is in a powerbattle with them and they try to enforce their rules upon the child.
Well, I think it's in the way you see your role as mother, as supporter of nature or as the childraising police.
It's of influence on how your child will develop.
Will he be a person who feels in himself a feeling of accomplishment, so he'll become an ambitious young man, or will he be a person who waits untill someone tells him what to do and does it to please someone else. He will have a hard time withstanding people who have no positive influence on him.
I've read your son is clever.
Always realise that this comes with an even greater responsibility for a parent because it's so easy to loose sight on the fact that a child should be loved for who he is as a human being first, and only far away second for what he accomplishes. It's not about your pride in him, but it's about him feeling an intense freedom to develop into the person he was born to be.
Spanking in my country is illegal, whether it's a simple slap on the fingers or hurting someone.
It's invading the integrity of a human being and installing fear as an incensitive for growth.
I'm sorry if you feel offended. You can always delete my comment.
Slapping in potty training is in more than 30% of the cases the start of or a sign of ongoing childabuse.
Hi Laane,
I am a very open minded type of person and i accept comments here whether if it is bad or good. That's what blogging is for. Is to hear other blogger's points of view and opinions. But as to what you said that spanking is illegal, i guess it is depend if you leave some bruises to your child's body, then that's beyond the limit, meaning, it's against the law and i know that very well. I spank my son and make sure i don't leave marks on his skin, so that only means that i spank him not so hard, just for him to realize that he needs sometime to feel that enable for him to understand things and he will put it in his mind that he has to be a good boy. And i am sure he will understand all this when he is old enough.
I may sound offensive but, as to what i see the most kids here in America, they are very aggressive and no respect to elders especially how they talk to their parents as if the parents are nobody to them, very rude and sometimes nasty. I am not generalizing all the kids but i am just referring to what i see. That's why i, as a Filipina should let my son practice our traits and behaviour, because for me, Filipinos are more affectionate and loving kind than other countries.
Also, i make sure that my son feels that he is being loved by me, by telling him how much i love him and letting him feel that i really do. Of course as a mother, i know what i am doing and if you are a mother as well, you know what i am talking about.
Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving some footprints here, i respect your points of view. Don't worry, like i said, i am an open minded person and i am frank to everybody.
I am so happy for you Darl nga ok na si MD. As with spanking both Ryan and I spank Frankie kong makasala. He needs to realize what is right or wrong and if we don't interfere as early as now they will grow up to be wild just like the students I used to teach before. You know better when it comes to MD and I know you wouldn't do anything to harm your precious son. Take care and kisses to MD.
Hi again.
Even when a spank is just a minor thing, giving him conflicting feelings: spanking and saying you love him, is pacing a conflict in him.
Well, I think that maybe you should speak with people who have undergone "minor spanking" as you call it.
I wonder whether you want a child that's able to think for himself, or want a child that jumps as a puppet when a punishment is around the corner.
Have a nice christmasseason.
Hi Again Laane,
I think spanking is not the issue here. It is how you discipline the child. That's we are parents because we are here to GUIDE him for him learn what is WRONG from RIGHT.
Children are born to be guided be their parents, that's why they are called children because they don't know what to do yet, they don't have any idea if they are doing the right thing or not. That's the duty of the parents, is to straighten up if they do some mistakes.
Like i said i spank my son and there should be a reason, my son is not retarded that he can't understand why i did that to him. I also explain to him that i did that because he did something wrong and he should be punished. But telling him i love him so much and i don't want him to be SPOILED BRATS like any other kids here in AMERICA.
Mostly kids here abused their rights, that they are very protected by the government, though i suppose that to a point because parents are kind of useless when disciplining the child, due to kids knows that they can report their parents anytime even though they intent no harm to their children, they just want to discipline them enable for them to be a good citizen someday when they grow up.
Or i should say OPPOSE. Like i said kids here are very abusive to their rights. Are you American? If so, don't you notice kids here are very wild? Unlike mixed like my son, they are more tame and well behaved.
Hi Laane,
My husband is a police officer here in America and he himself believes in spanking if the need arises. If the kid won't listen then he deserves a kind of something to let him know he needs to listen.
Spanking isn't bad at all as long as you won't do it to the extent of harming your child.
good job MD! that helps mommie a lot! and oh... this post, when u grow old, will remind u that mommie darl was so proud to tell the world about this huge accomplishment u'v made. as for the potty training thing, i should say, this is one task about child-rearing that is so hard. my 2-year-old toddler right now is still on diapers during the nights. but on daytime, i let her be without it. seems like she's not ready yet because she cries when she doesn't want one on. but i am getting there, just more patience. and by then, i will be one proud and happy momma as well!
as for the spanking thing, i am sure i know what u'r talking about darl. and when we filipinos talk about spanking, i believe that sounds strange to other nationalities and cultures. we know for sure that the people where we live doesn't practice spanking their children, even when there is really a need for it.
i guess what u meant with ur spanking in this post is not bad for your son. what i wanna raise is the spanking thing which is about disciplining and this may need to be another post. LOL
as for me, i am all for discipline and i know for sure my daughter will grow to be a one fine person, not spoiled and wild, like how kids are brought up in this country because of lack of discipline which involves spanking. :)
go MD and mommie darl! LOL
I feel the need to weigh in here. I am an American and I believe also in spanking. I totally agree with Tata here, and I know her well enough to say she is in NO way abusive, at least by my own standards, although I concede that by many others like Laane even saying "BOO" might be abuse. My observation is that those who are against discipline also disagree with the bible or don't follow it at all. It's thinking we are smarter than God. Lack of discipline is the root of most of the lack of respect for others, let alone respect for our elders. Tata is SPOT ON, bless her sweet and loving heart. I have the utmost regard for her as a wife and a mother and wish there were more like her but then therein lies another topic, not being ABLE to find a good woman here and finding it necessary to look elsewhere to find one... You go Ta!
I'm glad my children are American. They are not spoiled, they act age appropriate and if as parents we learn a little more of what to expect at each age rather than expect them to be little adults, acting like the adults do, then we can further find ways to discipline other than Spanking. Spanking, of any sort, undermines the confidence of the child and prohibits them from determining consequences. It stops the behavior right away, but so would removing them from the situation. I think parents spank because it is the easiest thing for them to do, and requires less patience than actually educating their children on how to act. It's not a one time lesson, it is constant. Some just take the easy way out.
Just my opinion.
Thanks for letting me share it.
If spanking is prohibited in the US, I would rather stay in our country hehe! Like what I said in my comment on your latest entry that I spanked Bienne once (with remarkable evidence, no one called Bantay Batabatuta 163(911) because they don't have telephone), I was thankful that I did it because the result was great, she became so loving, sweet, responsible, kind, and not to mention excellent in school. My question is when to spank her again? I'm dying to do so, hehehe! In my opinion, punishment is better than reward because mahal na mga palitunon kung reward akong pilion. For now, sa mga minor na sala sa bata sa mata nalang nako nya makikita ang muta este ang tiger look nako na nagpasabot na murag d na ok iyang action. kis-a ingnon nako cia "pitik" mukatawa man. Basta Darl, saludo ko sa imong paagi pag discipline kang MD.. Kita ra makasabot sa atong ugali kay brown man ta, cla puti man na trying hard maging brown, busy na tingali to bulad sa init sa adlaw. Aw, C Lord ra jud ang pwede mag judge jud.
Hi mommyto2
If you find my post here scary for you and giving you nightmare then might as well not come back here. I update this website for the people to know my son's progress but not to be criticized by readers. I accept kind and nice opinions from mothers like you but don't be so judgemental because you don't even know me and you have no idea how i was brought up with my parents. I don't judge you either because you have your own way of disciplining your child and be it, i am out to that. But please don't be so ridiculous! Try to be observant and please be careful to your words. You are stepping someone's feet that you don't know at all.
What a big boy! I know you're proud of him. I have to start potty training in the next few months. My little boy will be 2 in March. I confess I'm not looking forward to it.
