i finally realise

its one week into diaper free day for yu xi. its also take me about one week to realise why its much easier for her to accept the fact to pee and poo in toilet. yu ze took me a long time to convince him to use the toilet to poo and even so, it failed badly. i had to force him into it with lots of tears, sweat and threatening.

kids who are used to pee and poo in diaper, they do both actions standing up

for boys:
they have to learn that they need to stand up to pee and not sit down.
they have to learn that they need to sit down to poo and not stand up.
therefore, they must know how to differentiate the different action needed for different activity.

for girls:
they learn to pee from sitting down.
therefore, sit down to poo comes very naturally.
they don't have to learn a different action for poo and so they don't resist it. as long as you can get them to the first step of peeing in the toilet, you will have no other issues.

of course we faced strong resistance from yu xi for removing her diaper and let her go diaper free. however, there is no turning back. we just have to bite the bullet and go diaper free.
