  1. Might derail your "train"
    I should start by saying my daughter loves this book. But it isn't helping her understand a damn thing about the potty, and in fact seems to be setting up rather bizarre expectations about what is possible and achievable on the toilet. Two main problems:1) First of all, the text really doesn't...
  2. Downright perplexing
    Our son loves trains, and we bought a couple potty books to help him begin to understand about using the potty. He really enjoyed this one and wanted to read it over and over. The pictures are lovely, but the content of the book is entirely metaphorical - it's all about a boy learing to "ride...

It's My Potty and I'll “Go” If I Want To

It was supposed to be a typical afternoon of running errands with the tots in tow, and Target was my next and final stop.  I grabbed laundry detergent as well as a few other odds and ends and, before leaving, remembered to get pull-ups for my younger daughter, who will be three in January.  I headed over to the check-out line, not realizing that I was stepping into a mommy land mine.

The cashier, whether out of curiosity, boredom, or true sincerity, enthusiastically asked my daughter directly if she “pees in the potty.”  My daughter's proud response?  "No, I like to pee on the floor!"

Clearly, it goes without saying that I turned a bright, bubble-gum pink – an experience most moms can relate to as a combination of shock, shame, and horror.  What had become a simple weekly pit stop now felt like a full-on declaration – with flashing lights and the manager on the loudspeaker yelling, “This mom is failing at potty training her second child!”

With kid number one – also a girl, so I can’t even use gender difference as an excuse – potty training was so easy.  By two and a half, the diapers during the day were gone.  With number two, however, it’s completely different, with the little one digging in and me quickly throwing in the towel.  I keep asking myself, and all my parent peers, why, why, why?

Steps for Potty Training

There is a wrong way and a right way to potty train your toddler, did you know this?  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.

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.  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 happen to overreact about any accidents while trying to do potty training you could make the whole process drag on longer then you would like.

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.  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.  Be sure that ever time that your toddler uses the potty and only of they do, reward them with praise, or stickers, whatever you have decided that the reward will be.
