Step-by-Step Guide to Potty Training
1. Establish a routine: Create a schedule for your child to sit on the potty at consistent intervals, such as after waking up from nap or after meals.
2. Make the potty a fun experience: Read books or sing songs while on the potty to create a positive association with using it.
3. Use visual aids: Place stickers or a potty training chart to help your child see their progress and feel motivated.
4. Gradually transition from diapers: Start by dressing your child in clothings that are easier to remove, such as dresses or onesies. This will make the transition to underwear smoother.
5. Practice patience: Accidents are inevitable, so it's essential to handle setbacks with calmness and reassure your child that mistakes happen.
6. Use rewards effectively: Offer small treats or praise when your child successfully uses the potty. This encourages good behavior but avoid overindulging in rewards to prevent confusing them with bribes.
7. Monitor progress: Keep track of your child's attempts, successes, and accidents in a log book or an app designed for potty training tracking.
