Potty training advice

Following

We are currently in the middle of training and a sticker rewards chart is working wonders for us. My boy loves trains so we got him train sticks. Good luck, it is hard work!!

Also following we haven’t started yet

All sounds normal. Nothing to worry about. Wait till she can tell you before or immediately after she had gone potty in her diapers before you start is my advice. You can agree on a hand gesture or a sound if pronouncing the whole thing is not quite easy for her yet. Mix in some potty stories and some stories about how our bodies work (including how poo and pee are made).

We’ve been using bed liners on our sofa, letting him go nappy free or just in pants - whatever is prefers. We don’t tell him off when he accidentally goes or starts to go before he’s reached the potty, just praise when they get on the potty and just ask them to let you know when they need to go. We also have a sticker chart and that seems to work, we added things on that he already does like brushing teeth so he always gets a star and then wants more. You’ll know if they still aren’t ready but this is what we have tried but we’ve also allowed it to be his choice when he wants to be nappy free, we aren’t forcing it on him

To add to my comment, for a few months we’ve been getting him to sit on the potty before bath time and praising him for just sitting on there, even a little fart, just to get him used to it and the idea of it

If she isn’t ready yet don’t stress. People put so much pressure on getting them potty trained so young. She’s only little yet, and if she isn’t ready it will be much harder. Once they are ready and telling you then do it. Have a potty in the room but no pressure to use it. We have one for my daughter, she uses it before bed and bath but no other time, we’ve asked her if she wants to try in the day and have done some nappy free times. She just has accidents and then gets upset so I’ve just taken it that she isn’t ready. If you put too much pressure on you will make it harder t for her and yourself

I really recommend a book called oh crap. It’s a short book and really gave me confidence to help my little girl through the process. My biggest advice though is to just accept that accidents are going to happen rather than following around with the potty. We went bare bummed, rolled up the rug and just stayed home and played for a few days with me keeping an eye out for signs that she needed to go. It is hard work and she still has the odd accident now but has been potty trained for months and is dry at night. I gave up on day one because I thought she wasn’t ready. I then read the book and felt more prepared and started again the next day and little one did so well and was trained within a few days. Good luck
