Potty training 😣

Google two-day potty training method. It’s been working out really well for us.

Be consistent, I'm going through it too. And it's been so much better for him because he doesn't get confused as to when he can pee (with a diaper on) and when he can't. He used to treat his undies like a diaper until I said that's not where we go and I take them off and have him sit down on his toilet.

No he sits on his toilet (with his undies on) but at least he understands where he's supposed to be to go. Now I have to keep consistent with having him take his undies off and we'll be on our way to a diaper free home!!!

I stood home with my toddler(around 2.5) for three days straight and concentrated solely on him and observed his cues. On day 1, I had him completely naked and had a 20 min timer. Every time the timer went off, I would take him to the bathroom to sit for a couple of mins. We would sing, read a potty book, and if he did, HIGH ENCOURAGEMENT and rewards. As for the time I would extend depending on his frequency. But make sure it’s just you and your toddler and no other distractions, like tv or your phone. On day 2, continue the same method. On day 3, you can give them a distraction to see if they recognize there own cues. And never scold with an accident, just encourage them to use the potty. If they start peeing/pooping, run them into the bathroom and say that’s where it belongs. If you see poop on the floor, pick it up and put it in the toilet in front of them, again saying it’s where it belongs. You have to just be consistent with it. There will be accidents but keep them diaper free.

FYI: I would still keep a diaper/pull up on during nap/bedtime … hope this all helps

It’s so easy to get frustrated and throw a pull-up on . Stay consistent! I struggled Internally so bad w that. I’d set an alarm on my phone for every hour of the day (I recommend not going anywhere for atleast 3-5 days if you can just to potty train) and make them sit . I applauded every bathroom go to make her feel confident about going. When I got results , I did a even bigger celebratory applaud to let her know that’s the goal. Me telling her I was proud of her was her fuel to keep going. I’m learning that the more advanced you want your child to be in potty training is the time you put into it. I’m on week 3 of potty training and at this point I can tell her to go sit on the potty without my assistance until she needs to be cleaned. She now knows how to take off and put back on her clothes. And she also recognizes the feeling of needing to go. Don’t tell yourself they aren’t ready, the preparation is just a process in itself before you see results.
