Potty training is a huge step, it requires a lot of patience because you will be dealing with proper timing and of course the correct techniques.
You should also be able to handle unavoidable accidents.
The success of Potty Training revolves on physical and emotional readiness.
Most parents equate it with age but it is really not the case.
Some kids show interest in potty training by age 2, but others may not be ready until age 3 or sometimes even older.
And there's really no rush! If you start Potty Training too early, you may end up dealing with it longer than you expect.
You may want to have a Potty Training Chart.
What exactly is a Potty Training Chart? It's simply a chart consisting of the days of the week plus some stickers (that you put together) every time your child goes.
Stickers are colorful pressure sensitive labels that kids love.
This is one way of reinforcing Potty Training positively because the stickers are sort of a reward for your kid.
And also this will allow the kid to place the sticker anywhere he/she pleases because really there is no wrong spot.
You can always make your own Potty Training chart or you can also download it online.
There are hundreds of resources available out there.
All you have to do is choose the chart and decide on a date.
Pick a week when you are both ready and then you're all set! You can give your child one sticker just for sitting, then make it 3 or 4 when he/she poops.
It all depends on you.
What's important is you are encouraging your child without using and kind of excessive force.
Remember that everyone goes through this phase and you need to be there for your kid every step of the way.
Making use of a Potty Training chart will make it easier for both the parent and the child.
The key in here is getting your child ready for the big thing.
Make him/her feel that there is nothing to worry about and it's perfectly fine.
Choose some stickers with a happy face or a star or anything that you think will make him/her excited.
Nothing is more fun for a kid than getting his/her favorite sticker and then putting it on a chart with his/her name on it.
Why not try putting his/her picture so that the child will be more encouraged so that he/she will think that the chart belongs to him/her.
