It is the wish of every parent for your toddler to walk straight to the toilet to remove waste

Every parent wants their toddler to be free from diaper and be able to use the potty effectively and without stress, but your bundle of joy can only be able to do that if you potty train them

But to be able to potty train your child requires time, effort and patience to work

Introduce your toddler to the potty chair

Go for potty chair shopping with your toddler and explains the function of each of them

Tell your toddler that he or she has to pee or poop in the potty chair and not the diaper

Have a test run before you start the training

A day before you start the training, dress your toddler in a big shirt for some hours and ask him to tell you when he wants to defecate or urinate and keep an eye on your child to know his behavior

If you suspect that your toddler has to use the toilet but cannot talk, put on the diaper immediately

Here are the steps to potty train your toddler in three days

Potty training
day 1

Dress the toddler as normal, but do not put on diaper

Tell him that diapers left after saying bye and he is free to roam around without diaper

The toddler will sense that are not wearing a diaper is a good thing

Give a toddler a fiber rich breakfast with additional fluids that will allow his bowels and bladder full sooner

Point to the potty chair/seat and tell the kid to inform mom or dad when he wants to relieve himself and explain that he has to pee or poop into the pot

*Go about your usual routine but ensure you stay indoors and let your toddler play with his toys and move around the house and look out for anything that shows that the toddler wants to relieve himself

If the facial expressions or body language shows that your child wants to poop or pee, take him to the toilet

The potty should be put in the toddler rook for the first days for it to be accessible

You can also put it in the bathroom from the start to ensure your child is able to identify the bathroom as where he can relieve himself and also it is easier to clean mess in the bathroom

If the toddler want to excrete, let him sit on the potty and tell him to do it immediately,

To encourage your toddler, you can also seat in the closed seat of the big toilet and tell your child that you are right beside him

Each time your child uses a potty chair, praise him and tell him he is the best

If he stains outside the potty do not praise him or scold him, instead calmly assure him

Both parents should be involved when the toddler gets it regularly from his parents and so ensure that both parents are involved

When you are done, wipe the bottom clean with toilet paper and let the toddler see how you do it and the next day, allow him try to do it by himself with your help

When he is done, ask him to put on his shorts and help him out if he needs assistance, do not give him underpants since they make him feel like he has a diaper, it is ok for the toddler to stay without his underwear

Before your child goes to bed, take him to potty and ask him if he wants to relieve himself

To potty train your child in the night, it is advisable to set the alarm and waking up the toddler to go to the toilet at regular intervals

Night time training can be very slow process and needs to be repeated regularly and if you feel you child is too small for night time potty training, then you should focus on day time training and put on the diaper at night

The next day, repeat the steps from day one

After breakfast and potty time, you should take the toddlers outdoors only with his underwear and shorts on

The toddler may feel uncomfortable or happy to be outside without diapers and reassure that is good to go out without a diaper and ask him to tell you if he wants to go to the toilet

Do not go too far out of the house, and if you need to, you should go to the terrace or nearby park when your toddler feels the urge to go to the toilet and take him back home to the potty

You can also bring a portable potty with you to make things easy and remember to carry some toilet papers, tissues and hand sanitizers also

On the second day, let the toddler clean himself after using the potty, he may feel reluctant but feel free to tell him to do the it right away

Allow him get involved in cleaning himself up to make potty training interesting for him

Potty training- day 3
