Toilet Training Can Be Fun!!

After toilet training 4 children, I've used so many different resources, and these are the ones that I think are the best! Trust me, I've tried them all and each of my kids needed a different approach and did it on their own schedule. It shouldn't be a stressful process for parent or child.

The Experts Speak 

Toilet training, or potty training, is the process of training a young child to use the toilet for urination and defecation, though training may start with a smaller toilet bowl-shaped device (often known as a potty). In Western countries it is usually started and completed between the ages of 12 months and three years with boys typically being at the higher end of the age spectrum.Paul, Pamela. Parenting, Inc. Times (Henry Holt), 2008. ISBN 978-0-8050-8249-4. Page 244-245.

Cultural factors play a large part in what age is deemed appropriate, with the age being generally later in AmericaPaul, Pamela. Parenting, Inc. Times (Henry Holt), 2008. ISBN 978-0-8050-8249-4. Page 244-245.Honig, A: "Toilet Training Stubbornness," Scholastic Parent and Child.

We Never Used Potty Chairs

My kiddos all learned using a child's toilet seat and step stool. It worked well for us. After my oldest trained with one, I never bothered to buy one for the next 3 kids. My nephew, on the other hand, is learning quite well with a standard potty chair. Different strokes for different (little)folks!

Don't Force It

Remember - all children train at different times and only once THEY are ready. Their bladder control develops on it's own schedule and nothing that you do can hasten it in a toddler.
