Potty Training
Potty training has been such a journey for me!
I have 3 kids; ages 1, 2 & 3; and I have been through it all getting my oldest two boys potty trained...
It began six months ago when one day I spent over $100 on diapers and training pants. I decided my boys had to get potty trained once and for all.
I had attempted potty training my oldest once before but he didn't seem ready. With them him showing signs of wanting to use the toilet and being uncomfortable in a pull-up, it seemed now was the time to get both trained. I had also heard potty training siblings at the same time was slightly easier as they copied each other and competed.
When I started I was completely lost.
I tried just talking to both boys and explaining how to use the toilet, that didn't seem to stick.
I began to sit them on the toilet and reward them for trying but soon they outsmarted me and just sat for candy with no "outcome" on the other end.
I even had them run around naked for sometime, but soon realized I got myself into a bigger "mess" going that route... urine drenched carpets and rags, poop smeared floors and halls, and the constant janitorial duty was exhausting and even more frustrating!
After asking friends and family, borrowing books from the library, watching videos on YouTube and reading everything I could online I still didn't see any progress. Everyone and everything had the same advice and tips on reward systems and bare-butt methods...which I was definitely not trying again.
I finally stumbled on a complete potty training guide that had everything you could imagine about potty training. It was like a potty training toy chest. Not only all the tips, guidelines and methods I hadn't tried but sticker charts, games, bonuses and 1-on-1 coaching all geared toward successful potty training.
It was comprehensive and easy to follow and after reading the guide and using the tools provided I had both my boys potty trained in a weekend!! No regression, no more accidents, no more training pants and 2 proud, dry potty trained boys!!!
I am now beginning to potty train my almost 2 year old girl early and thought what better way to help family, friends and other parents than to share my success and the guide that saved me with everyone through my blog!
