Do you have a toddler who needs to be potty trained before starting preschool, and who has shown signs of readiness? Now you have the perfect weather and timing to get started. While potty training is an important stage that every child needs to get through, it can be very challenging at times, especially considering the inevitable accidents and the messes they will create. Pampers, the leading brand of diapers and training pants, has therefore teamed up with potty training expert Dr. Laura Jana, to suggest tips and tools that you may use to make the process less stressful for both you and your child.
Here are a few tips that I find most useful based on my own experience:
1. Patience is the best policy. As with any aspect of child care, patience is a parent's key to success. No matter how eager your toddler is to put in a big child's underwear, the transition cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes a lot of time and practice to master this gigantic milestone of childhood. Being patient also means to always side with your child during the learning process and allow for accidents and mistakes.
2. Have the right supplies on hand. You can significantly boost your child's potty success if you are equipped with such great tools as Pampers Easy Ups training pants, a well-fitted potty ring and a sturdy step stool, which may also add fun to potty time. Pampers Easy Ups makes the diaper-to-underwear transition smoother by allowing potty-training toddlers to get out of diapers and wear something with more of an underwear-like design that still helps keep accidental messes off clothing, bedding and other surfaces whether they happen at home, on-the-go or overnight.
Seeing their favorite cartoon characters like Dora and Thomas Train helps increase children's interest in wearing Pampers training pants and in going potty. Pampers Easy Ups are more absorbent and have fewer leaks than the other leading training pant. With up to 12 hours of protection for both day and night, Pampers Easy Ups give parents the peace of mind that their children will stay dry and comfortable as they learn to go potty on their own.
