way, give them their own potty. It is catered to their smaller
body, for easier use, and also, it instills a sense of entitlement, it’s all theirs.
Have your little one use the potty throughout the day. Perhaps
dedicate 15 minutes at a time to potty training session. Explain to
them during this time they should put their poop or pee-pee in
the potty! Follow up with a diaper or training pants after
the session has ended. As they get better with their potty,
these can be used less, and underpants will be the replacement.
Let them roam free
Forego the underpants/training pant and allow them to roam free
with just a t-shirt or so, and remind them that this potty session,
they must put the poo and/or peepee in the potty!
When they do, make a big fuss over it, besides they did a very big thing!
Reward
Who doesn’t like rewards? They are positive reinforcements and
motivational. It can be as tiny as a sticker or as big as a toy.
Continue training session throughout the night and at school
Continue to encourage potty session through the night and at school/daycare.
At night, there should be a cutoff on liquid intake, and always try the potty before bedtime.
Inform your toddler’s teachers or caretakers that they are potty
training, they would be eager to help, and certain to be a positive
reinforcement to the lessons you’ve already taught your toddler.
It always helps to send small rewards, such as stickers, with your
child to daycare/school.
