5 tips to get out of your potty training funk

There’s no right way to potty train. Kids are different. Consider your kid, how she takes on the world. Her personality can guide you to discover what motivates her. Kids learn by modeling. Show them what they need to do and give them time to get used to the idea. Have patience. Learn those body-signals that mean it’s time to try the potty. Don’t aim to cover everything at once. Peeing, pooping, wiping and hand-washing. They’re all big tasks. Whether with hugs, or cookies, find a way to invest your kid in earning her bathroom stripes.

Key Takeaways:

• The best way to start the potty training process, or get out of a rut you’re stuck in with it, is to take the potty training personality quiz.
• You have to be patient. It’s not all going to happen all at once, you have to take the potty training process step by step.
• Small rewards of any kind are acceptable, but just like the personality quiz, you have to find which suits your specific child best.

“”Pooping or peeing in front of an audience may sound ludicrous to the child-free. However, most kids learn by example and how do you expect them to know how to use a potty, or even to know it’s safe, if they have never seen anyone do it before?””
