Tips for Potty Training..

These seem to work for us, just thought I would share.

1) Use a small cup when giving your child liquids. We went down to a 4oz. cup and fill it up, after Logan drinks it we have he at least try to use the restroom.
2) Have your child potty in the living room. Obviously we have not had anyone over, but this is what really got Logan going.
3) Sticker chart, bought or homemade. Logan seems really motivated by the fact he gets to place stickers on the chart when he goes.
4) I know this is not an ideal one, but TV (For us NickJr.) on while child sits on the potty in the living room.
5) Let you child go bare. We tried to keep the pull-ups and or underwear on and this seems to create more issues. So, at least when first starting I would suggest you let your child go bare.
6) Create a prize jar. We used an old salsa jar, washed it out of course, and filled it with cheapy prizes from the dollar store and candy, so that for every 10 goes on his chart, Logan can pick a prize.

Happy journey all!
Ashley
