Listed below are 5 major potty training tips that can help you succeed in training the toddlers who are less than 3 years old.

Start Early

Start putting your child on the potty early sometime between 12 & 18 months is good. This isn't to get him to do anything but to get him used to sitting on it. Once a child reaches the age of two he is at the "no" stage and often doesn't like anything new being introduced into his life without it being a battle. Think how much money you could save if your child is potty trained at the age of two instead of three years of age.

Make a Decision

One of the most confusing things for your child is if you chop and change. Make a decision as what day you want to start toilet training and then do it. Don't start potty training for a couple of days and think that tomorrow's going to be a busy day so lets forget about it and put diapers on again. This will confuse your child and make potty training much more difficult.

Be Consistent

At whatever age you start be consistent in the way you potty train, this includes the words you use. Every member of your family and any other adult involved in caring for your child need to do and say the same things. Therefore decide before you start how you are going to undertake potty training your child and once this decision is made stick to it.

Praise & Reward

Use praise and rewards for success and never punishment for accidents. This can be more difficult if you tired or are having a very busy day. If you would like a free potty training chart to use as an incentive then I will give you one at the end of my potty training course. If you let your child choose their own stickers to put on the chart then this will be an added incentive to use the potty or toilet.

When not to start potty training

Never start potty training when there is going to be a big change or a very exciting time in your child's life. What may be a little change in your life may appear to be quite large to your child. Going on vacation, Christmas time, moving home or having someone visiting for a few days are all times when it would be advisable not to start toilet training your child.

Last and not least, approach toilet training with confidence and not fear and you will succeed much quicker and with less stress.
