The most important thing to do when you potty train your toddler is to encourage, encourage, and encourage. 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 they get close encourage then by being truly positive or some parents use a sticker chart.

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. If your toddler sees what you do when you go to the potty they will be more at ease when they try. Another idea is to use a stuffed animal or a doll and pretend that it is using the potty, some toddlers can learn from this also. Which is sometimes similar to potty training. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.

Potty training needs to be done in a stress free environment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner.

Unlike training sometimes. Remember that is important that you are never negative while you potty train your toddler, sooner or later they will learn how to do it.
