App Roundup: Bathroom Training and Hygiene Habits

By Emily On July 14, 2015 · Add Comment

Let’s face it: No one wants to teach a toddler or preschooler how to develop healthy bathroom and hygiene habits. First of all, many parents (myself included) consider potty training to me about as fun as training for an ultra marathon. Second, it’s not so easy for a 2- or 3-year-old to wrap their heads around abstract concepts as washing hands to kill (invisible) bugs or making sure your clothing is clean so you look nice. Now, I’m not saying you should hand the iPad to your kids to learn how to use the toilet or brush their teeth. But it can be a useful method of bridging the communication gap between parents and children when it comes to hard-to-explain routines that we as adults know to be habitual and important to stay healthy.

The Consumer Electronics Show (going on right now in Las Vegas, Nevada) is always a time when new, innovative and sometimes crazy ideas and products are displayed for the public to critique, all in one place. This year, CTA Digital has really broken the mold with a product that some critics are calling ridiculous and other are calling genius. The iPotty. If you have every potty trained a toddler, you know how horrific it can be. The pants buttoning, toilet paper unrolling, sitting still, and making it there in time can all prove, at the very least, challenging…and those only happen if your kid will even consider using the potty. Yep, we all know the one. That kid who would rather walk around in his soaked superman underwear than touch a potty with a ten foot pole. Luckily, change may be on the horizon for those parents brave enough [...]
