Let your child practice sitting on the potty. Be sure your child's clothing is easy to pull off. Praise, praise, praise, whenever the child is willing to sit and try to go. Don't expect something to happen every time. If nothing happens, tell them "That's okay" or "Good try, we'll try again later." Don't put too much pressure on them by just standing and watching. Be prepared to keep them company by reading aloud or singing a song to pass the time. Praise your child for every deposit in the deposit chair, especially during early learning stages. Remember the toilet seat can seem awfully big to your child. Keep toilet paper where little hands can reach it. Never punish your child for an accident. Clean up in a matter-of-fact way, no matter how hard that may be to do. Reward your child with a Potty Training Certificate.
