Q How should I potty train?
A The key is having them sit on the toilet 10 minutes after a meal, correcting their posture with a footstool, and positive reinforcement focused on praise.
Detailed Answer
3 Principles of Potty Training: 1) Establish a habit of sitting on the toilet for a set amount of time, 10 to 20 minutes after a meal (at least twice a day). 2) Use a footstool to ensure the knees are positioned above the navel (straightening the large intestine). 3) Build positive experiences through moderate praise upon success. It is important not to scold them even if they fail.
Perspective of a Korean Medicine Clinic
