Potty Training Guide

By Angela Johnson

Did you know that there is a right way and a wrong way to potty train your toddler? Believe it or not there is. Any parent can use some advice when their child is in this stage of their lives; I know that I could have.

The most important thing to do when you potty train your toddler is to encourage, encourage, and encourage. It is best of you stay focused on the positive rather then the negative. 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. When your toddler sees what you do in the bathroom they will also want to do it and feel more at ease when they try to go to the potty.

Use a teddy bear or a doll and pretend that they are using the potty, some toddlers will understand from this. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.

When you decide to potty train your toddler keep in mind that it needs to be done in a stress free enviroment. 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.

Give up on the idea for a few weeks then try again they may get it the second try. Never be negative when potty training your toddler, they will pick up on it sooner or later. - 32531
