I wish I knew – our lb runs away from the potty so I’m clueless!!
Best time to start training is during the summer when you can let your child walk around in their pants!
I’m not sure?!?! Please help, i have twin boys that are now 2, gonna need all the tips i can get x
Don’t give up and stay calm.
Summer, trained herself, patience, and leaving nappy of for an hour or so before bedtime
Expect set backs. Be patient.
Praise praise praise! And if you can manage to sit on th potty yourself to show your kiddy how to do it (or better still if you have an older child thats willing!!!) it can work miracles! And lastly, don’t panic or try to force the issue, it can be normal for some kids to take ages, while some take a day or so, ie my youngest son took two days, and that was it, he was trained, however my youngest daughter, is taking forever and hates the loo, so we’re taking it really slow! 🙂
Patience, reward charts and no shouting! Easier said than done though, going to start potty-training with my son next week. Wish me luck!
Best to wait when your child is showing signs of being ready to toilet train as there will be lots of stress and accidents
Were only just getting to this stage but I would imagine lots and lots of praise, and patience too xx
Be patient, they may not get it right away but they will
you have to persevere
Be patient & persevere 🙂
take it slowly and don’t panic, it will all fall in to place …..eventually!
Don’t put a nappy on when you go out, it just confuses them and will take longer to train them!!
Hope for the best! Prepare for the worst! 🙂
I don’t know if it is the best tip as I haven’t managed to train my daughter yet, but I am going to wait until she is a bit older
Don’t try and rush it or start too soon, they’re all ready on their own time.
give them time, they are all ready at different ages
With my 2 sons it was a case of letting them do it in their own time, but always have the potty easily available and cleaned straight away. My youngest son was much quicker to take up the potty, mainly because he wanted to be like his brother. It’s a patient job but worth it in the end. I feel though that it is best to let them get into it themselves – gives them a feeling of independence and achievement
I’m about to start so not sure, but have been told it’s once you start don’t stop or he/she will only get confused.
encouragement and patience.
We aren’t ready yet so I’m not sure, but this potty looks like it would be a great help!
I found that taking my daughter out of pull ups, and letting her experience being wet in her clothes really helped with potty training
Have plenty of disinfectant handy.
hi hon, entered on the 11th, but still showing this.

Were only just getting to this stage but I would imagine lots and lots of praise, and patience too xx, also although i entered rafflecopter, it was clear when i came back today, any ideas ?
patience, it will all fall in to place….eventually
My daughter is just starting to show signs but we are going to wait until the summer holidays as we have 6 weeks off together to crack it. And the weather will hopefully be good 🙂
I’ve found that patience is key – don’t try and rush things, it’ll just make the child more anxious!
let them go at their own pace, they will soon get the hang of it
do it in the summer when washing dries fast and they can run around the garden nappy free
My little lady is only 20 months so we’re just thinking of potty training.
My only tip so far is to have a potty available so it isn’t a scary new thing when the time comes. Already my girl has been sitting her teddies on the potty for a wee wee.
Patience and encouragement.
Patience and encouragement!
Try and potty train in the summer when washing drys quickly as there will be accidents. Be patient as children are ready at different times
Patience
potty training is much easier on the summer when they can run around in the garden
also keep calm x
hi i left a comment here x

We’re just about to start potty training and I have been advised not to put nappies back on your child once you have decided to start as it can/will confuse them x
Be relaxed and expect a few accident!
Get your child used to the feel of the potty by sitting on it, before you start toilet training.
Praise and patience!! Expect accidents but make sure child doesn’t worry about them.
patience and keeping at it, don’t make a big deal of it as it can put the child off. when I was potty training my oldest I left the potty out a few weeks before I started training her so she got use to it
I found that lots of praise was the best way to potty train my children. They respond to that far better than anything else.
Lots of praise and patience
Don’t push them, but let them do it at their own pace. Worked great for our son and took the stress out of it.
Don’t use pull ups
patience and perseverence
wait until they are ready, don’t rush them
Keep going with it, Accept there will be some accidents along the way!
Be patient
don’t rush child and take everyday as it comes, they will have good and bad days
Don’t rush, wait until they are ready.
Wish I knew!
let the child decide when they are more or less ready, as being forceful just to save you a couple of quid in nappies is not fair!
Stay calm. Expect accidents and make it fun!
Help – I haven’t started yet!
Do it their time x
Have wipes at the ready!
Just reading these tips and getting worried about the whole business soon to start
Be an example.
Dont stress about it, it will happen when it happens .x
If you can wait until the summer, it is much easier and make it fun
Be patient and persevere
I have just started to try and potty train my toddler. I will let you know when he is trained lol
I don’t have one yet, were starting potty training but I’ve learnt so far to have wipes near by for accidents.
Wait until they’re ready i guess although my two year old boy hasn’t been potty trained yet and i am a little worried
I don’t have any children but would love to win this prize for charity, to go to Romania.
Wait until they’re ready
I showed my little girl a picture of a little girl sitting on a potty with her story book and teddy bear and waiting there until she went and said that she was such a good little girl. My daughter then copied her almost straight away and loved getting praised for being so good with no accidents. My little boy is almost ready to be potty trained as he keeps taking his nappy off every time he goes and likes a dry nappy but for the life of me can’t get him to use the potty. Every child is different and as long as your patient and encourage and praise them they will be ready in their own time x
Wait until they are ready, and keep it fun!
Don’t stress about accidents and don’t force them until they are completely ready.
Have lots of patience
Take them on a shopping trip and let them choose some pant’s, a training seat, a potty, a step… whatever you need. And make a big deal about how grown up they are choosing their own things. It’ll hopefully get them all excited to get home and give it a go. Don’t leave it too long between buying the things and getting started though.
Also my biggest mistakes have been stopping and starting and changing methods so really think through how you’re going to do it, set a date and stick to it. I first brought our things a year ago when my little one was 18m… he’s still in nappies most of the day :/ He starts nursury in september though and I think it will be a huge help seeing all the other children using the pottys,.. I’d love to have an exciting new potty for him too so he can get excited about it again.
Once you go for it, go for. Don’t confuse them by popping them in nappies/pull ups to go out.
I used to leave mine in wet underwear for 5 or 10 minutes.I know it sounds harsh but it really works.
Keep calm, they’ll get it right when they ready
I’m just about to start potty training with my little girl but years ago with my older two kids I think the bribe of stickers for going on the potty worked well for us.
relax,let them do it at their own pace,give lots of praise 🙂
Wait until they are ready
let them take their time and praise them a lot
Stay with it. Its tough
No nappy! 🙂
reward charts work great, ive been there 3 times now and have another 2 little ones (18 months and 7 months) so about to do it all over again 🙂 lots of praise and rewards 🙂
don’t try to rush it, children are ready at different ages
Sticker charts/ treats, reward using the potty….I use mumbucks and find them great x
I dont know as we are yet to embark on our potty mission
I am starting to lose the will with potty training!
Lots of praise and some very stylish pants (we’ve just bought fireman sam lol!)
Let them do it in their own time. If it’s not working go back to nappies and try again in a few weeks 🙂
Be Patient and expect a few leaks
during summer and lots of patients 🙂
Leave off knickers/underpants for the first week – let them get used to using the potty before they have to learn how to pull up & down their pants x
Don’t use training pant unless out and about.
keep trying them patience and time
Don’t use pull up pants, just go straight for normal pants – kids won’t like feeling wet if they have an accident
I don’t have any, I potty trained my 2 older children no problems, but my littlest is 3 and a half and he is just not interested, it’s infuriating!!! I try so hard and he just wees everywhere. We are starting, again, when he finishes preschool for the Summer next week. Wish me luck!!!
Well I thought we’d conquered it, only to completely regress when we had a new baby and moved house! Found that ‘Drylikeme’ pads worked quite well though
dont try too soon wait until the child is ready
best tip is not to start potty training too soon. It will be so tempting to start getting the potty out but if little one isn’t ready it just causes upset and delays the process.
It really doesn’t matter if your little one is much older than friends little ones and still isn’t asking for the potty. Keep the potty handy and when you notice them stopping what they are doing, ask them whether they are having a wee. Then explain that big boys and girls have a wee on the potty because it means they can wear big girl / boy pants.
Don;t force them to sit on the potty just ask each time they seem to stop what they are doing and eventually they will get the message. If you allow them to set their own timing for potty training it is over much more quickly and with far fewer accidents than if you try to force the issue
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
just persevere!
Be patient
We’re just about to start potty training with our wee daughter. I don’t have any tips as I’ve never done it before. Interesting reading all the other comments though.
I never fussed much over potty training, they had a potty but they mostly were in nappies until they decided they wanted to use the toilet and graduated to that, of the three of them I think they were all about three. If they ever had a good result I used to give them a round of applause or praise them but failures were never even remarked upon and they are 23, 20 and 14 with no problems . if you feel het up or worried just take a step back and remember they all get it eventually in their own time!. Soon I will be doing it all again with the grandchildren!.
I commented on the do children ever even play out any more blog post
Be patient, in the end our daughter went in her own time. She could not be convinced!
Never get angry or shout at your child if there is an accident it will upset them and may stop them wanting to go on the potty x
Never push them to do it – they will do it when they are ready. And this will minimize any accidents :0)
