I believe that diaper withdrawal is an educational process for all intents and purposes. Therefore, parents have a responsibility to lead our children to withdraw until they complete the cleaning education process.

How do I know my child is ripe for diapers? In my view, children are born ripe for diapers. Thus, some parents choose to “bedbug” and raise their children without diapers at all. We parents have chosen to diaper our children, for reasons of convenience, and we are the ones who should lead them to part with the diaper.

I believe only fruit in the kitchen ripens and no children are in rehab. The parent has to choose a date when he and his child are physically and emotionally available for the detox process and set off. Such a parental position also reduces the chances of developing withdrawal problems in the future.

After I have escorted thousands of parents in Israel in the rehabilitation of their children from the diaper, I realized that many parents are afraid to actively lead the withdrawal of children (from the misconception that the child must lead the process himself) which contributes to confusion, frustration and even anxiety in the child and also in the parents.

Common withdrawal problems

Most of the withdrawal process is progressing optimally and the child is fully weaned.

That is, the child informs his needs and we will go to do them in the bathroom or in a pot.

However, sometimes the withdrawal process stalls and a withdrawal problem occurs.

Common withdrawal problems:

Multiple pee misses

A child who does not initiate his own pee/poo

A kid pooping in his underwear.

Toilet anxiety

A child who asks for a diaper in order to poop

A child who resists hours or days to poop

A child who spends many hours peeing

withdrawal problems can be solved quickly and efficiently!

Many parents are concerned that the withdrawal problem is unresolved, they try many approaches to the solution and receive countless advice. They’re trying to “let go,” bribe the kids with prizes and surprises, and even be angry. But with each passing day, they feel discouraged and have already tried everything!

The child feels confused, frustrated and uncomfortable with his withdrawal problem (even if he does not show it sometimes).

After focused and practical counselling in the field of rehab, the child’s diaper problem is solved, the child feels better, the atmosphere at home improves and the parents feel great relief that the needs of the child no longer run the house.
