I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair. Potty training tips 1.) Don't rush your child 2.)Don't yell at your child 3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty. 8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty 9.)Don't criticize your child 10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

How do you potty train a child who has absolutely no desire to be potty trained, and actively fights against it?
When you did you guys fully have your toddlers potty trained ? I’m having a hard time potty training my 2 year old any advice or tips on training a 2 year old boy ? 😩

@chvz_dlma98, here is a good list. As moms we feel pressured to do everything prefect and early. But honestly potty training is easiest and most successful if you let your child lead! Don't feel pressured or like you're a bad mom if he isn't potty trained right away ☺️ https://www.babycenter.com/0_potty-training-readiness-checklist_4384.bc

@chvz_dlma98, if he tells you when he poops, shows interest when you use the potty, or have dry diapers for longer periods of time.

@chvz_dlma98, you put the potty in a place where the child can easily access it. Pick the day you want to start (it'll be easiest if you stay home for 3 days straight) and that morning take their diaper off and let them run naked. Have them drink lots of liquid and ask about every 15-30 minutes if they need to go potty and have them sit on the potty. If they successfully use the potty reward them with a m&m or skittle or sticker. If they have an accident just say "uh-oh remember ____ you have to use the big girl/boy potty" At night don't give them anything to drink after dinner and before bed have them go potty then put them to bed without a diaper. Wake them up at around 2am to go potty and right back to bed. Repeat for three days. We did this and my daughter hasn't had a single accident at night and no accidents during the day for almost a month!
