There is a wrong way and a right way to potty train your toddler, did you know this? 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. It is best of you stay focused on the positive rather then 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.
When you go to the bathroom take your toddler with you, they like to do as you do. If your toddler sees what you do when you go to the potty they will be more at ease when they try.
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.
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.
