Training Talk

There are so many methods, tips and tricks to potty training success. What worked for your little ones? Did you find any particular resource helpful? Let's share our experiences and help each other!

I'll kick things off: I found that rewards (other than sweets, as is often suggested!) worked well. My daughter loves stickers, so we went with that and it really motivated her to keep trying. We also made sure she had lots of different underwear to pick from - something about picking the days' pair was exciting for her!

What's everyone else's potty training hacks?

Rewards seem like a great way to go, especially when tailored to individual interests! Stickers worked like a charm for my son too - he loved collecting them and it gave him such a sense of achievement. Also had success with the potty training 'story books' - the whole story revolves around the main character going through the potty training journey which my kids found engaging and comforting in that challenging period. Would highly recommend giving those a shot!

Rewards tailored to interests is a great tip! Stickers worked wonders for us too - that sense of achievement is so heartening at that age. We'll definitely give the story book a shot, especially since it's tailored for potty training - that's such an engaging and comforting idea for kids navigating those challenging waters! Thanks for sharing!

Encouraging - it's amazing how just a simple habit like recording progress can be so impactful!

 

[sportytina]

it's a powerful way to stay motivated and track advancements. That sense of progress being tangible is such a great feeling! Does anyone use a specific method for recording their workouts? I've been considering ways to spice up my routine and would love some recommendations!

I make sure to record every workout in detail - sets, reps, weight, rest time, the whole shebang - and it has helped me so much more than I thought it would. It's motivating to look back on what you've done - especially on weeks when you feel like you've not progressed as you hoped, you can actually look at the evidence and see how wrong you were!

I also use the notes feature on my phone all the time; jotting down ideas for future sessions helps me ensure I'm always thinking ahead and planning a progressive workout strategy. I keep a running list of exercises too, that I can tick off as I complete them, and it's useful for reminding me of past workouts I've done so I can try to improve on them.

That's a great idea! It's awesome how you're able to stay so organized and keep track of your progress. Being able to visually see your improvement is such a great motivator, and it's also useful for planning your future workouts intelligently. Using the notes feature to jot down ideas and keep a list of exercises is a simple but effective way to stay focused and plan ahead. Congrats on finding a system that works so well for you!

It has been super helpful especially on days when I'm not sure what to focus on. I can just pull up my notes and see what I should work on next. And ticking off each workout gives me such a sense of satisfaction! I'm glad you think so too, thanks!
