It has come to be that time. B. is two years old and starting to show signs of readiness for potty training. Huggies sent over the Potty Training Success Kit to help get us started. Armed with a package of Pull-Ups, an informative DVD, reward stickers, and a small toy, we started on the potty training journey. Turned out, B. wasn’t quite as ready as I thought at that time, so we took a little break and will try again soon. Since the break, he has started showing even more interest, so we may be more successful this time.

I’m training my twin boys right now! One tip I’ve learned with the older 2 boys I have is to be consistent and take them every couple hours.

With my girl, I put panties on her, but underneath a pull-up. That way, she would feel the discomfort of being wet, without the mess. She began to realize how it felt to need to go.

This would come in very handy for me. I am trying to train my 2 year old and it is not going so well. He will not sit still. The thing that worked with my oldest was to give him a lollipop when he used it. Not a big one just a little dum dum pop. It worked really well.

Boys-aim for those cheerios!

For both…put on their favorite song and have them stay on the potty till the song is over…do this every few hours…
and ALWAYS…positive reinforcement…never punish…they was to learn more that you do…

Putting cheerios in the toilet for “target practice” worked great for my first son and I plan to use that idea again for our new son.
29 August 23rd, 2008 at 11:14 am
I successfully used the same routine I used for housebreaking my puppy..I sat him on the potty as soon as he woke up, again 10 to 15 minutes after each meal ( five minutes maximum), and praised him and gave him a treat each time he was successful..and another treat if he told me he needed to go..he was potty trained in two weeks, no hassle ( note: it took longer for the puppy!)

I trained my last one by letting him pee behind trees, I kow sounds so redneck. But we lived out in the country with no other houses around, so I did what worked. Hope the next is just as easy or easier,
38 August 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Set aside a block of time, we did it over the week break from preschool at Christmas and made it a focus (without major pressure) for the entire week. Eventually our daughter became so interested and focused on it that it happened, once she did it one time it all clicked and became a constant event. She was so proud of herself!!

Decide on a time when MOM is ready to focus on it. Then go straight to underwear, at least during the day. Also we have the child train a doll, and moms simulates accidents and successes with the doll (surprising how easy this can be!)

I know you’re not supposed to but bribery works for me every time. Right now I have a set of 20 Hot Wheels cars on top of the fridge. Every time my son (my 3rd) goes on the potty, he gets a new car. We just started this with him…so far, so good.

A good tip I learned (which I didn’t believe at the time), when your child starts lining up their toys such as hot wheel cars, they are able to start learning to potty train. It worked for us.
49 August 23rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Do not let your child (at or near potty training age) see “Flushed Away”. My daughter had a major setback worrying about going down the toilet.
50 August 23rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
With 3 of my daughters so far, (I still have a 7 month old daughter) As soon as they wake up in the morning I would put them on the potty chair. Every child pees when they wake up. So they would be in the potty chair. I would make a HUGE deal about how AWESOME it was a give me a HIGH FIVE, soon they were excited about going to the bathroom. Works every time!!!
51 August 23rd, 2008 at 10:58 pm
sit the child on the potty about 30 to 60 minutes after they take a drink

Save toilet paper rolls when they are almost out so that when they train, they can have their own little roll of toilet paper, and they can’t unroll the whole roll, or too much because its almost gone….
58 August 24th, 2008 at 10:35 am
I always heard about the blue water tablets, and telling a boy or a girl to turn the water green. My kids have been potty trained for years! However, my youngest babies are on their way to the training… hopefully it will work.

Money was really tight & I just couldn’t afford to buy pull ups for my dd. She was already getting on the older end for potty training, so I just went cold turkey on her. Stuck her in panties & she just had to deal with it. It took a few days & then by 2 weeks, she was accident free. Luckily it happened in August, so we spent lots of time outside. I wouldn’t recommend this for beginnings, but it worked for my hard to train dd.

62 August 24th, 2008 at 11:59 am
We had a potty timer in our house. First it was set at about 30 minutes, and every time it would go off, we’d go potty. It was really hard, but the kids thought it was great. Then we just worked our way up to longer times. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the great contest!

In the past I let my toddler wear regular undies,,that way he was able to know when he was wet,,,and then able to know when he had to go.
66 August 24th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
patience is my only advice
67 August 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
My advice is to have a LOT of patience. Do not be rushed or anxious with your child. This makes them feel like they have failed you.

My friend used bribery which seemed to work well! She gave her son star stickers on a chart each time he went potty in the toilet, and after so many stars, he would earn another thomas the train engine piece. I plan to use this method too!

85 August 25th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I have been taking my little one every hour during the day, and first thing in the morning and before bed. It has helped, I think the key is to make it fun, and be consistant.

My mom potty trained my son by having him pee in a pickle jar.
91 August 25th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
for boys- put fruit loops or something similar in the toilet (just a couple) and tell the child to aim in the middle. Also you can use blue food color and tell him that if he goes in the big potty he can magically make the water turn green. Also have there favorite character write them a letter on how good they are doing and how proud they are of him!!

I say timing is the most important thing! I am potty training twins and they were not ready at 2 but now they are almost 4 (DEC) and they finally are getting it. It can be really frustrating to a mom, me in particular. Hang in there it will come with time. I have an older child too, he;s 8. I hope this time sticcks for me we only have been doing it for one week and it seems to be doing better only a few accidents.
