Ideas for Potty Training
There is a wrong way and a right way to potty train your toddler, did you know this? Well there is believe it or not. Any parent can use some advice when their child is in this stage of their lives; I know that I could have.
Encourage, encourage, encourage is the most important thing to remember while you are trying to potty train your toddler. Remain focused and stay positive never react too much on the negative. This is similar to bathroom training. You need to first get your toddler ready by getting your toddler used to the bathroom. When your toddler has come close encourage them by being positive some parents find it easier by having a sticker chart. Remember that there will be some accidents, but do not over react to this. If you over react the whole potty training process could drag on longer then it needs to.
When you go to the bathroom take your toddler with you, they like to do as you do. If your toddler sees what you do when you go to the potty they will be more at ease when they try. Another idea is to use a stuffed animal or a doll and pretend that it is using the potty, some toddlers can learn from this also. Which is sometimes similar to toilet training. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.
Potty training needs to be done in a stress free environment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner. If you rtoddler shows no intrest at all then chances are they are not ready to potty train. Wait a few more weeks of this happens then try it again. Unlike diapers sometimes. Never be negative when potty training your toddler, they will pick up on it sooner or later.
