Easy Potty Training: Is There Such a Thing?

Parents who are struggling with potty training might consider easy potty training an oxymoron. As a parent myself, I had an extremely difficult time training my sons, but they are now fully potty trained elementary schoolers. So, even if your child trains late or balks at the idea don't get distressed. Eventually, every child will potty train. They just have to be ready to do so, which is the way to make things easier on both you and your child. Forcing a child to potty train when they are not ready can push them back months on the process.

When your child can keep their diaper dry for two hours, it may be time to broach the subject of potty training. Girls can watch their moms or older female siblings and boys can watch their dads or older brothers to see how things are done. This is one way to encourage the child as toddlers often want to be like their bigger siblings and parents. Talk to your child and get their feelings on potty training. Some will be totally against the idea (which means they are likely not ready) while some may be very enthusiastic or lukewarm.

If you deem that your child is ready for training, take them shopping to pick out a potty chair and underwear. Even if they cannot wear underwear, an unwrapped package of their favorite undies can be a huge motivator for some kids. Also, by letting them choose the kind of chair they want encourages them to use it. There are chairs that sit on the floor and seats that go on the adult toilet to make it kid-sized. Your child may go from chair to seat over time or simply prefer using the big potty. The seats that fit on the toilet often have handles so little ones don't feel any danger of slipping off.

So yes, there are ways of easy potty training. Motivational charts, a potty training DVD and potty training books can reinforce what you are teaching your child. The easiest training is going to take place when your toddler is physically and mentally ready for the task. It always helps to talk to your child's pediatrician about potty training, as they can help you figure out if your child is ready and give you advice based on your child's temperament.
