Connect with your child

It would help if you got on your child's level. Start by taking a deep breath and comment on what he is doing. When you have his attention, point out that his diaper is wet, this would make your toddler check on his body. It creates a connection that lets him know you are on his side. Realizing he is wet makes him less resistant and creates a foundation for potty training too.

A little tickle does it

If you get her laughing, it reduces the stress hormone and increases the bonding hormone. You can get your child to laugh for a few minutes, and when that bond has been created, you initiate the diaper changing. You can tickle her, chase her around the house, be silly, and do just about anything that makes her laugh. Add diaper changing as part of the fun.
