🚼 Potty Training Checklist
Track readiness, daily progress, and celebrate milestones
💡 Tips & Tricks
- Start when your child shows multiple readiness signs, not at a specific age
- Use consistent words for bathroom activities so your child learns the vocabulary
- Set a timer every 30-60 minutes for potty sit reminders
- Praise effort, not just success — "Great job sitting on the potty!"
- Dress your child in easy-to-remove clothing (elastic waists, no overalls)
- Never punish accidents — stay calm and say "Next time, let's try the potty"
- Let your child pick out their own underwear as a reward for progress
- Keep a small potty in the bathroom so it becomes familiar before training starts
- Nighttime dryness often comes months after daytime training — be patient
- Read potty-themed books together to normalize the process
