Potty Training

  1. What are your potty training tips?

DW: Be patient and don’t push. I was certain Lauren would go to kindergarten in diapers since she screamed every time I plopped her on the chair. But one day she just announced she was going to use the big girl potty from now on. It was New Years Day, so I though she had made some sort of resolution! Amazingly, it worked. Also, don’t let those mom’s who have ridiculous stories like, “My little Johnny was totally potty trained at 9 months” let you think you are failing some how. In reality “little Johnny” has her trained to run his little bottom to the bathroom at certain times. You are not in competition with the play group, just in training for yourselves. And hang in there… even if they do go to kindergarten in diapers, they will for only one day! : )
