Are You Ready For Potty Training?
When you’ve made up your mind that your child is ready to be potty trained it’s time to prepare the home for a dedicated attempt. Aim for two or three days of solid training and focus intently on the task at hand.
If possible get everyone else out of the house and don’t have visitors while the training is taking progress as this will make it heaps easier to focus on the toddler and get the job done.
Diet is also an important factor in preparing for potty training. You need to give the toddler lots of water and heaps of fibrous food. This is not the time for constipation and if it does happen you’d be better off starting at a later date. A hard poo can be painful and will make the child hesitant to pass it on the potty.
Keep the potty in the same area that you and the child are playing in so it is easily accessible. Carry it around with you about the house. Keep re-inforcing to your little one that they need to pee and poo in the potty and wear big person underpants.

When your child does manage to go in the potty make a big deal out of it. Go crazy, dance and sing as you need to re-inforce the behaviour with positive actions. Probably more importantly do not show your frustration or scold the child when accidents happen. Make sure the child knows that it’s OK and they’ll only get better at it with practice.
Just stay focused and remember that your child wants to learn to go to the toilet on their own. Children love to embrace new things and want most to emulate us big people. We teach our children to go in a diaper from birth. Potty training is a process of breaking that habit.
A key point to remember is that they don’t find it easier to pee and poo in the diaper it’s just that it’s all they know. Would you find it comfortable to have wet pants? Didn’t think so. Do your child and yourself a favour and potty train them as soon as you think they are ready. You’ll save yourself thousands of dollars and give your little person a major sense of achievement in the process.
