Potty Training Toddler Tips!

Welcome to this Potty Training Toddler Tips page.

This is a very important time in your life and in the life of your toddler. When your toddler grows up, he or she will not remember what you went through to get him or her out of the diapers and onto the toilet, but you will. 

I am hoping that the information on this site will help to make this an enjoyable and fun time for both you and your toddler. 

The tips below will work on boys or girls, however, if you want tips precisely for you child's sex, I suggest you go to my Potty Training For Boys or Potty Training For Girls pages. 

A Few General Tips To Enrich Your Potty Training Toddler Experience! 

1. Make sure that your toddler has regular, well-formed bowel movements. This will tell you that he or she is ready to hold bowel movements long enough to get to the toilet (runny stools are very difficult to hold).  

2. Make sure that you child has developed enough that his or her diaper is dry for three or so hours at a time. This also tells you that your toddler is able to "hold it."  

3. Make sure your child is able to sit still long enough to have a bowel movement in the toilet. If your child cannot sit still, you will have a mess on your hands. 

4. Make sure your child is able to tell you when he or she has to go. The reason for this is obvious. 

5. Make sure that your child is not fearful of going in the toilet.  

Potty training toddlers can be a pleasant experience, if your child is ready. To help prepare your child:  

6. Let your child watch you use the bathroom. Of course, it would be better if the father can do it for boys and the mother for girls. The idea behind this is that your toddler sees that there is nothing to be afraid of and that this is what big people (and "big boys and girls") do.  

7. Get a potty training toddler seat. It will encourage your child to know that he or she has a potty of his or her own that is toddler size. If your toddler tries the regular toilet and falls through, it could be a long time before the next try.   

Again, this is a general list that will work. The main thing is to be patient and make your potty training toddler experience one to remember (in a good way).
