Why do some parents get their child potty trained quickly while for others it takes a while?
It takes focus and a positive outlook for one.
Some parents are so motivated and excited about this milestone in their child’s life that when it is time to work on potty training, they are ready for it. The children pick up on the vibes the parent(s) are feeling and in turn they are ready and willing.
It sounds easy and it can be. So what about the parents who struggle?
First, I recommend purchasing a journal or even a simple wirebound notebook for less than a $1. In fact, Wal-Mart is currently selling them for less than a quarter because of back to school.
When you feel good start writing. When things are not going to well steer clear of the writing. The more positive thoughts you can write down about potty training the better off you will be as will your child.
Once you start feeling really good about trying potty training then prepare the household. Purchase a small potty and or a potty seat, underwear or panties, treats, rewards and schedule a few days to just focus on potty training. The less outside distractions the better.
