Encourage, encourage, encourage is the most important thing to remember while you are trying to potty train your toddler. It is best of you stay focused on the positive rather then the negative. This is similar to diapers. The first step is to get your toddler used to being in the bathroom. When your toddler has come close encourage them by being positive some parents find it easier by having a sticker chart. Keep in mind to never over react to accidents, there will be some for sure. If you over react the whole potty training process could drag on longer then it needs to.

It is a great idea to take your toddler with you when you go to the bathroom, this is because toddlers like to do everything that you do. When your toddler sees what you do in the bathroom they will also want to do it and feel more at ease when they try to go to the potty. Use a teddy bear or a doll and pretend that they are using the potty, some toddlers will understand from this. Which is sometimes similar to bathroom training. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.

When you decide to potty train your toddler keep in mind that it needs to be done in a stress free enviroment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner. If your toddler does not potty train right away, they may not be ready. Give up on the idea for a few weeks then try again they may get it the second try. Unlike toilet training sometimes. Never be negative when potty training your toddler, they will pick up on it sooner or later.
