End Trouble Potty Training

If you're having trouble potty training your toddler, here are a few things I've learned that might help.

Be Sure Your Child is Ready
Can your child remain dry for at least 2 hours at a time during the day?
Can he/she walk to the bathroom and pull down his or her own pants?
Show interest in the potty chair or toilet?
Have regular, predictable bowel movements?

Some Things You Should Do
Stay calm. Relax. You should have an easygoing approach and notput undo pressure on the child.

Show them what they should do. As obvious as it may seem, we sometimes forget that the child is brand new to all this and learning it for the very first time.
Trouble potty training sometimes begins with the parent.Never be harsh or scoldful if the child has an accident.

Purchase a potty chair or a potty attachment for the toilet.
Let the child practice using the potty. This helps them become more familiar with the process and get used to the idea.

Stop using diapers completely! Purchase some training pants and easy to remove clothing. Avoid clothes with snaps, zippers and belts.

Stay with the child. It's a good idea to keep books handy so you both can read together and take pressure off the child.

Listen to the child. When the child let's you know it's time to potty, try to respond as quickly as possible so the child gets used to going when they need to.

Help your child off the potty and reward with hugs and praise after each successful effort.
Wipe your child carefully. Wipe girls from front to back to prevent infection.

Teach the child to wash their hands thoroughly after each trip to the potty. This shold be emphasized strongly and become a habit for life.
