How To Potty Train Your Toddler

Instead of a 10 step program: On How To Potty Train A Toddler Boy... This is going to be a 9 step program:)...

The first thing you need to do is go out and buy some little boy underwear for your toddler; let your toddler pick out what kind of underwear he wants. Buy a couple of packets or more of underwear; trust me you will need them. You don't want to feel you are spending more time in the laundry room than you are with your toddler in the bathroom. You will feel that way if you only buy one pack of underwear. Because the first day, even going into the second day you will be taking a lot of messy underwear off of them, so you need a lot of back up.

Solve Potty Training Problems One Step At A Time...

Step 1. When at your Favorite Store. Take your toddler over to the potty chairs; let your toddler pick out what kind of potty chair they want to use, and of course show them a price range of items that you can afford.

Step 2. Next have your toddler pick out a pack of stickers. When your toddler successfully starts to potty in their potty chair; this is what you are going to use for your reward system.

You need to start first thing in the morning, pretty much don't go anywhere for a good couple of days, devote your time and energy towards your child.

Potty Time Chart

Step 3. You will need to make up a Potty Chart. You need to have it finished before you start the potty training with your toddler. The potty chart plays a big part in the potty training. You are going to make up a homemade Potty Chart. Just get out a plain piece of paper, put your son's name at the top, and then state the days of the week below the title on his potty chart.

This is one that I made for our little guy (he loved it). This is what it looked like by the end of the week:) If you can tell he really started getting the hang of it...

Potty Training Your Toddler Boy

Add One Of His Special Toys

Step 4. Show your toddler boy the Potty Chart and let him know that after he has completely filled the whole Potty Chart with stickers. Then he can go pick out a special toy at the toy store, for doing a job well done. Now, parents this step is completely optional. But from my personal experience this extra step is a good one.

Step 5. Show your toddler boy his stickers; let your toddler know that every time he goes to the potty in his potty chair, he can pick a sticker from his sticker packet and put it on the Potty Chart.

Step 6. This next step is optional. But this worked really well with our two toddler boys . You will need to get one of their special stuffed animals, and tell your toddler that their special stuffed animal is going to learn how to use the potty. By putting on one of your toddler's new underwear on the stuffed animal.

It's Time To Start The Clock

Get Your Toddler Ready! Get Set! Go!!!

Step 7. Put your toddler's potty chart up where your toddler can see it. You will then need to get their big kid underwear. Put the underwear on them, and tell them that they need to keep them dry, like how they are right now.

Step 8. Start the clock; get into a routine. This is from my personal experience, and also from other parents stories. You will need to take your toddler to the potty pretty much every fifteen to twenty minutes. Watch your toddlers expression. You know your toddler; if he looks like he is concentrating too hard, run him to the potty. If you decided to included the stuffed animal, you need to take the stuffed animal with you also and make the stuffed animal look like it is going to the potty.

Step 9. (The Final Step) Make this whole experience for your toddler a joyful one. This is going to be a lot of hard work; stay consistent and stay positive. Get excited when he starts using the potty. When you show him how happy and excited you are every time he goes to the potty. Your toddler will start to get really excited also. Then all of a sudden he will want to keep doing it over and over again, because he gets a sticker to put on his potty chart. But he will also start getting excited when he sees mommy and daddy so excited, when he uses the potty.

Stay consistent I can not stress that enough!!!

    Ahh, yes, that takes me back. I was fortunate when it came to potty training my boy. The men folk in the home (dad and granddad) thought it was proper for them to teach him the manly way to do it. I just kept lots of lysol and gloves on hand that month. (*^_^*) LOL
    It all worked out well in the end.
