When your child is developmentally negative don’t take it personally. This is hard sometimes because life does have to go on. This is why a project such as toilet training should not be undertaken during a negative phase. To do so would just frustrate you and give your child more to say no about. Another way to respect negativity is not to punish behaviour that a child is developmentally incapable of (such as saying “yes” during a negative phase). Use non-punitive methods of directing developmental negativity. Above all, do not punish for any aspects of toilet learning. As with food discipline, it’s your child’s body. Trust him to learn its natural functions.
