Buy The Right Equipment

When a parent begins the potty training process, they will want to stock up on everything they may need. For instance, there are a few different options to choose from when it comes to a potty. There are potty seats that attach to the top of a normal toilet allowing the child to safely sit on top of the toilet and relieve themselves in a way that is comfortable for them. There are also stand-alone potty chairs that can be placed in the bathroom, and functions as a miniature toilet of sorts for the child. Parents are also encouraged to bring their child with them to the store to pick a potty they like, whether it be because their favorite cartoon character is on the potty or it's their favorite color. Your child should help you buy the right equipment as this not only gets them involved in the process but is also continued motivation for them.

Reward Them For A Job Well Done

It may take a few tries, but your child will be able to get the hang of using the potty. When they do use the potty, and especially on their own, it is essential to praise and encourage them by rewarding them for a job well done. This will show your child you are proud of them and they have done something good, which will make them want to repeat this positive behavior.

For instance, reward them by giving them a small treat each time, such as small chocolates, and when they are fully potty trained, reward them with a toy they have wanted, such as a doll or truck. Parents can also use charts to help track the progress their child is making and use stickers as a fun initiative to show their progress. Remember, potty training doesn't have to be a difficult process for both parent and child, but should be a fun, bonding experience!
