Healthy habits start from a young age, and it’s never too early to teach your toddler to master the bathroom. Learning the basics of healthy hygiene can begin as soon as your child is old enough to hold a toothbrush or go on the potty. P&G and Walmart are here to help make the experience easy and fun with cleaning and personal care Bathroom Buddies from Pampers, Oral-B and Charmin that are designed specifically for your little ones!
When Hannah does show signs (i.e. telling me she has to go, that she has gone versus lying about what I find in her diaper), I will definitely use the handy charts below:
I'll also use the Today's Parent Milestones app. For parents with toddlers there are articles, brush buddy (which makes interesting songs to ensure kids are brushing long enough), potty pal (Dora & Diego lead children through the steps of using the toilet) and a nap tracker.

ReplyDeleteBooks! Start them young! The wipes seem to work too, for some reason it is fun taking them out of the package and being allowed to use one.
ReplyDeleteWe use stickers or stars on a chart as an incentive!
ReplyDeleteWatch your child's cues -- they will let you know when they are ready to start potty training. Make it a part of the daily routine. So, bathroom at wake-up, after meals, before bed etc., so they will get used to it.

Don't push potty training, and make brushing teeth fun (and start the tooth routine early)
ReplyDeleteHave fun, let it be light, don't force anything :) and use rewards.
ReplyDeletelots of patience and reward the accomplishments
ReplyDeleteWe used the 3 day method - it was intense but positive reinforcement and rewards worked. After a few days she didn't care about the rewards anymore - she was so proud of herself.
ReplyDeleteJust keep trying. They'll get it eventually.
ReplyDeletePatience is key and making things fun helps.
ReplyDeletepatience and not compare children
ReplyDeleteBe consistent and encourage all the time, be happy even with a little success.
ReplyDeleteWe bought a video on potty training for kids and she watches it everyday so hopefully she will get the idea soon.

ReplyDeleteMy only tip is to include toddler in the routine from the start. Let them see parents and siblings washing hands and brushing teeth regularly so they want to imitate. Then work up to their ability. First do it for them, then holding their hand, then letting them try alone...
ReplyDeleteHaving patience and being consistent worked for us
