Did you know that there is a right way and a wrong way to potty train your toddler? Believe it or not there is. Parents can always use some helpful hints and some ideas at this time their child’s life; I know that I could have.
The most important thing to do when you potty train your toddler is to encourage, encourage, and encourage. Remain focused and stay positive never react too much on the negative. This is similar to diapers. The first step is to get your toddler used to being in the bathroom. When your toddler has come close encourage them by being positive some parents find it easier by having a sticker chart. Keep in mind to never over react to accidents, there will be some for sure. If you over react the whole potty training process could drag on longer then it needs to.
It is a great idea to take your toddler with you when you go to the bathroom, this is because toddlers like to do everything that 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. 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 training. 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. Also it needs to be done when your toddler is ready, not you. 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.
