01Don't force the issue

Toddlers will let you know they’re ready to start training when they start telling you they’ve gone or they have to go.

02Leave the potty in place

Even before you begin the training process, make sure the potty is visible and available so they get used to seeing it and sitting on it.

03Set the example

Make sure toddlers have the opportunity to see you using the toilet so they get the idea and are clear what the potty is for.

04Set a schedule

When your toddler awakes, after eating, before bed — have your child use the potty at the same time each day and try to start a routine.

05Be ready

Have the potty available in the playroom, the kitchen, the bedroom — wherever your child and you are, that’s where the potty should be too.

06Celebrate successes!

Cheer and make a big fuss! It’s only natural that successes will be easier when there’s lots of positive reinforcement — and remember to also be encouraging when your child has an accident.
