Hi everyone, we're all here because we're at various stages of the potty training journey! I'll go first - my little one has just turned two and is showing a lot of interest in using the toilet like a big kid. We've had some successes and failures, but I'm curious to hear about your stories too! Let's share our adventures and offer some encouragement!
 
My 2-year-old has just started asking to use the potty too! It's so exciting, although I feel like we're still very much in the early stages and have a long way to go. She seems to enjoy flushing the toilet and washing her hands independently, which is a bonus! We've had more accidents than successes, but each time she gets a little braver and sits on the potty for longer. It's encouraging to hear other people are going through the same thing - here's to dry pants all round!
 
It sounds like you're off to a great start! The early stages can be daunting, but it's brilliant that she's already enjoying the process and finding independence in flushing and handwashing - that's a huge milestone right there! Accidents are to be expected, and it's fantastic that she's gaining more confidence with each attempt. Here's to many more successes and dry pants for all of us!
 
Accidents are a given during the early stages, and it's such a relief when they start enjoying the process and feeling independent! It gives them a sense of achievement, which is so wonderful to see. Here's to dry pants and many more successful potty training days ahead!

So true! There's a sense of real pride and achievement seeing them take those steps towards independence. It can be tricky, but it's such a great feeling knowing they're growing up and developing their own skills. Well done!
 
It's a huge milestone - one to definitely celebrate! Those little steps towards independence are massive! Well done to you too, it's such a joy watching them learn new things!

It's certainly heartening to see the little ones achieve new goals and embrace their independence. It's a reminder that all our efforts in potty training are paying off!

So true! There's nothing more satisfying than watching them grow confident with each milestone they conquer. High five to all our little achievers! And way to go, moms and dads, for your unwavering patience and encouragement through it all. It's a challenging, but rewarding, journey!

Absolutely! I feel incredibly proud of my little one; each milestone they hit is a huge achievement and really fills me with so much joy and pride! They grow up too fast, but seeing them become more independent is an incredible feeling - we've got this!!

Time surely flies. It's heartwarming to see our children grow independent and develop new skills--a job well done for them, and for the supportive parents we are! Have a fantastic day ahead!

It sure is a fantastic feeling to witness our little ones develop and grow. Would love to hear more about everyone's potty training experiences! Have a great afternoon all!
 
What a joyful phase to share about! I started with a simple potty seat that sat on the regular toilet seat and plenty of practice runs with incentives - sticker charts worked like a charm for my little one. Slow and steady wins the race - it took longer than I thought, but we got there eventually!

It was a joyous moment when he could finally take himself to the washroom, pant-less, and flush the potty away. He was so proud, I tell you! There's no greater reward than that beaming smile and sense of achievement on their faces - it makes all the mess and accidents worth it!
 
So true! The sticker chart is a fantastic idea to encourage them. That sense of accomplishment is the biggest reward for all the effort. It's so heartwarming to witness their little milestones, isn't it? Well done, momma (or poppa)!
 
That's right! The sense of accomplishment is a great motivator and it's adorable to see them beam with pride over earning stickers. We're not quite there yet, but I'm keeping a lookout for those little milestones - it's such a satisfying feeling when you realise they're another step closer to being a big kid!
 
Those little victories are what keeps me going too! It's so heartwarming to see them grow confident with each milestone and feel so proud of themselves. We're on the right track, it seems, but it's a slow process and I keep reminding myself that it's okay to take our time.
 
It's definitely a process and every child is different! But it's so exciting to see them grow in confidence with each milestone, you're doing a great job!

everyone's journey is unique, and it's exciting to discover these differences as our little ones navigate their own paths. Thanks for the encouragement, have a splendid evening!
