To teach little things to your child can be a delightful experience. Potty training toddlers is a vital part and it can be made fun. Just learn to look for signs in your baby to see if he is ready to start his training.

Before beginning potty training, make sure that you child is consistent with their bowel movements. Is he telling you he has a dirty diaper? If he does then he wants to keep clean and not sit in a dirty diaper. He should be able to feel the pressure in his bowels or bladder to poop or pee. It is very important that he can communicate to you when he has to go and their should be enough time to get him there and pull down his pants.

If he shows signs of readiness, then he is on his way to learning. Begin the training by familiarizing him with the terms that we use for going potty. Tell him that Mommy and Daddy don’t wear pull ups, but underwear. Tell him that it is much more fun to not have a diaper on. When he goes poop in his pull up or pants, take him to the toilet and flush it down with him. Kids learn much more by watching you do things. If possible take your child to the potty with you and have him watch you go potty.

Get your child involved in the process. Find a toilet seat or chair that has his favorite cartoon character on it to peak his interest. Have him come along to pick out his chair as he will be more excited to use it if he was involved in the decision making process. Put it in the bathroom so it is available for him to use when he is ready. Using his own chair is much easier for him than the regular one which can be difficult to manage.

You can also make him choose his own underwear with his favorite cartoon characters. Dressing plays an important role during potty training. Avoid some snaps, zips, ribbons knots etc. that will be an added hassle for your child when he wants to poop or pee. Make him wear loose pants which can easily slip down and be pulled up.

Try removing diapers from his days first, but use them at night. Slowly, when he wakes up dry in the morning, remove his night diaper also. You will be needed to remind him to tell you whenever he needs to pee or poop. Accidents will happen at all stages, but you have to remain calm. Yelling at your child will not help. It will rather discourage him.

Devise new ways to celebrate his success when he poops and pees on the potty. Make him feel accomplished when he does the right thing. Do not discontinue in between because of your urgent trip or schedule etc. This will confuse the toddler and he will tend revert back to diapers again.
