Preparing for potty training can help make the process easier for you and your toddler.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:
- Remaining positive throughout the process, praising your child for progress without being negative when there is a setback.
- Monitoring your child's abilities and behaviors, and changing your approach, if necessary.
- Trying to relax and have fun during this exciting time.
