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.

Encourage, encourage, encourage is the most important thing to remember while you are trying to potty train your toddler. It is best of you stay focused on the positive rather then the negative. This is similar to development. You need to first get your toddler ready by getting your toddler used to the bathroom. When your toddler has come close encourage them by being positive some parents find it easier by having a sticker chart. Remember that there will be some accidents, but do not over react to this. If you over react the whole potty training process could drag on longer then it needs to.

When you go to the bathroom take your toddler with you, they like to do as you do. When your toddler sees what you do in the bathroom they will also want to do it and feel more at ease when they try to go to the potty. 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. Which is sometimes similar to diapers. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.

Potty training needs to be done in a stress free environment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner. If your toddler does not potty train right away, they may not be ready. Wait a few more weeks of this happens then try it again. Unlike potty training sometimes. 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.
