I found that having a consistent routine was vital during potty training my child. Taking him to the toilet every hour and straight after meals helped him get into the habit of going at regular intervals. We also celebrated his success, which encouraged him to keep trying. Celebrations at home were low-key but exciting for him - a small prize or a fun sticker worked wonders!

My first kid took forever to toilet train - it felt like we tried everything under the sun! But what finally worked was a sticker chart. We went to the dollar store and picked out some small toys that he got to choose when he earned a certain number of stickers. He was so motivated by the toys that it only took a couple of accidents before he got the hang of it. Every time he succeeded, he got a sticker and lots of praise! Now, my boy is so proud every time he earns a new toy! It's definitely a journey with many setbacks, but you'll get there eventually!

Having a consistent routine is a great habit that helps with the potty training journey. It instills in them a sense of timing and awareness of their bodily functions. celebrating their accomplishments is a fun way to keep them motivated and confident!

Yes! I found consistency key too - with two young ones, it's chaotic but managed by keeping a close eye on timing. For incentives, my little one loves being outdoors, so I involved her by taking her to the park each time she successfully used the potty. It was a great motivator!

Consistence motivation certainly helps in the potty training journey. Well done for persevering and finding what works!
 
Thank you so much! It's definitely a tricky road but consistency and figuring out what works is key! We've had our ups and downs but staying motivated even through the accidents helps!

staying perseverance is tough work, especially when faced with challenges and multiple setbacks. It requires a lot of dedication and patience which certainly pays off eventually.
 
Setbacks are normal and expected - it's all part of the journey! perseverance is key and eventually leads to success, so keep at it! Keep rewarding those small wins and celebrate every achievement along the way, because every child deserves celebration for their progress. It keeps up their spirits too!
 
So true! Celebrate those milestones, big or small, because each one brings you closer to success! It's encouraging for parents and children alike to keep a positive attitude towards potty training, especially during tricky moments. Keep up the faith!
