Positive Reinforcement
Potty training is a major step for the parent and child. You will finally be free of the costly diapers and your child will no longer be a baby, but a "big kid".
During potty training it is very easy to become frustrated. Your child is having to learn and remember a lot during this time. There is a reason why so many experts say to use positive reinforcement - it works! Positive reinforcement is very important to help them achieve their potty training goal and should be done right after they did the deed.

Picking Out The Potty Chair
First, let them go to the store with you to pick out the potty chair that they will use. If they get a really cool one or one with their favorite character they will be excited to use it.

Celebrate
Once they have successfully used the potty clap, sing, and do the potty dance with them. This will be lots of fun to let them know they are on the right track.
