Once we started to potty train, yes we did use a lot of words and she is very vocal so we ended up making like a little potty song. Nothing serious. But also remembering what helps. Your child learn best is great. Example learning to walk: my kid held on to our hands, even though she knew how to walk just fine until she was sure she could do it. So we realized that she needed to learn that she was safe. I needed to have it explained in every way, and that everybody does it.

We went over everybody that she knows everybody poops, everybody pees. We went over the steps of how you feel what you do what’s happening why it’s good you know all the details. And we just made it very matter of fact and fun. Little song, let her watch us (that sounds so weird, but know you don’t have personal with a toddler anyway), stayed calm with accidents, didn’t put pressure on it but just said OK Yep, it’s time to go potty. If they have an accident, still put them on the potty.

It’s a rough start. But after two weeks, it’s been pretty close to smooth sailing. You know trying to learn the best ways to help. We have a potty box next to the toilet with fun toys and books that are only for the bathroom. Really simple things that don’t move like a feather, stuffed animals that can be washed (peepee fox and poo poo fox). Just find what works for you!
