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 could have for sure.
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. 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 happen to overreact about any accidents while trying to potty train you could make the whole process drag on longer then you would like.
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. If your toddler sees what you do when you go to the potty they will be more at ease when they try. 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. Remember that is important that you are never negative while you potty train your toddler, sooner or later they will learn how to do it
