Potty Training doesn't have to be a chore

As a home daycare provider I have the pleasure of potty training many of child. As a lot of mother's know training a boy can be more challenging but the key is to not start to early and allow your child to show you the signs, that he or she is ready to start training.

Some of the signs your child is ready for potty training are:

If you child is not showing any of the signs of readiness to potty train above, then your child is simply not ready to train. One mistake I see more often than not is parents wanting their child too early. You cannot push your child to potty train if they are ready, because your child will revert back to pottying in their pants.

The best way I have personally found to train your child is using a simple reward system. The key to this reward system is to involve your child in every aspect of this. Make them feel special and they are playing an important role in their training. You can do the reward many ways I will discuss two ways I have used and had much success with.

This reward simple is easy buy yourself poster board, and if you have a childcare provider you will want two charts so your provider can also join in this system. Also have your child pick out their favorite stickers to use, and allow them to color and decorate their charts. Then each time your child goes potty have them add a sticker to their chart, then when they have a full chart I did MondayFriday I would let them pick a prize out of my treasure chest. My treasure chest consisted of dollar store items and treats.

This is a huge success because they were fully involved in the process of creating and maintain the potty chart, plus they know that by keeping their pants dry and using the toilet they are getting rewarded.

This is very similar to the system above, but instead of using a chore chart I had mason jar on my kitchen counter filled with gummy bears. Gummy bears are low in sugar and a great treat, when your child goes potty reward them with one gummy bear, if they poop in the potty they get rewarded with two gummy bears. This is great especially for those children who really love their snacks.

Another tip for potty training time I have used is leaving a basket in the bathroom next to the potty chair full of books about potty training. Then when you child is sitting on the potty they can sit their relax and read their potty training books, and this may help to start the pottying process a little easier. The best advice I have for all parents is, no matter how tired you are of changing diapers, you cannot rush your child. Just watch your child's behavior and you will know when your child is ready, and then you can begin your potty training process. Read our full Terms of Service.
