I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book , Potty Training In 3 Days: Quick and Easy Guide to Potty Training Your Toddler In As Short As 3 day s .

Potty Training isnt the easiest thing in the world. It can truly put your patience to the test.

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to potty train your child from the signs that say hes ready to be potty-trained, to what you should do, how to make sure your strategies work, potty training myths, and more.

I am a mother of three, and I remember not having a notion of where to start with this. I felt silly even asking someone as I felt like it was something that was obvious to most people and as a mother it was something I should instinctually know.

Because of my lack of knowledge, I struggled with my first child. When the time got close to training my second child, I decided I wanted to be a lot more prepared. I read every book I could find on the topic and this time I would not be caught off guard. When I did this I noticed some problems with the books I was reading. I found a lot of the information and methods given seemed too forceful and traumatizing to the child. I also found that a lot of the books where very long and stretched out the process to fill the pages of their book.

I did take a little something from every book I read and started to implement it. I began working as a child minder then and learned through a process of trial and error and began to hone my skills over the years. I optimized the process as best as I could to the stage where it usually took me about 3 days to potty train a new child.

I wrote this book to share some insight and basics on this process. It is intentionally short as when you have a toddler, time is a luxury you often don't have. I have also given a method that I believe is the least traumatic for the child and I one that I believe will significantly help you on this journey.

Thanks again for getting the book, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1: Signs that Your Child Is Ready for Potty Training

First things first, you have to check if your child is ready to be potty-trained or not. If a child is not ready, no matter what you do, you wont be able to train them.

Heres some indicators to keep in mind:

1) Is the child already able to stay dry for at least 2 hours or longer during the day?

2) Does your child already know how to follow basic directions or do they know how to copy you when you tell them to do so?

3) Is your child eager to please, and do they have a desire to be praised?

4) Do they now seem interested in the potty chair, toilet or the bathroom?

5) Do they now seem interested in wearing underwear?

6) Do they now complain about diapers that are dry or wet? Do they know the differences between the two?

7) Can they run and walk now?

8) Do they like things to be in their proper places?

9) Do they now try to dress themselves?

10) Do they now tell you that they want to pee or poop through facial expressions or words?

11) Is your child now able to sit, and then rise from a potty chair?

12) Do they know how to pull their pants down, and put them up again?

13) Are they familiar with potty lingo, such as wet, dry, pee, poop, bowl, bottom, clean, or messy/dirty ?

If your answer to a lot of these is yes, then chances are, your child is ready to be potty-trained. If they are, proceed to the next chapter so can learn where to start.

Chapter 2: What You Need to Do

Now that your child is ready to be potty-trained, let us talk about how to do it.

Start with a Positive Attitude

More than anything, you need to have a positive attitude. This will show your child that the activity is fun, and its not something they should be scared of. When the activity becomes fun and exciting the process will be substantially smoother.

Prepare the Equipmentand Use a Doll!

Put the potty chair in the bathroom. It can also be helpful if you let the child decorate the equipment to help to increase their positive associations with this process.

Another trick that can lighten the mood of this journey is using a doll throughout the process. You can first show them how to use the equipment by making use of a doll. You see, dolls often make kids feel like they are not alone. When you use a doll as a way to teach a child what they should do, they can relate a lot easier.

For example, bring the doll to the potty chair and let it sit down. Make potty noises, and then help the doll down, and say good job You could even give the doll a star, or any form of praise. When the child sees this, theyll realize that this is what I should do. They will also know that it's okay and that it should be done on the potty chair. It will clearly show to them that this is something good that is to be praised.

Where to begin

When starting off, it's best to choose an entire day when you are completely free. I know this can be difficult for some parents, but I urge you to find the time. If you do this it will speed up the learning curve of the child and make the process easier. During this day your child will need your undivided attention, so try your best to make sure everything is taken care of.

Tell your child something along the lines of "Today we are going to learn to go potty like a big boy." Say this as if it's something very exciting that the child will enjoy. "This will be fun," will be the frame for the entire process.

For the entire first day your child will be naked or bottomless. This is because throughout this day you are going to try to catch your child when they are peeing. You will then get them to the potty as they are peeing. Makes sure the potty is close by at all times and try to move fast when you are getting them to the potty. It can be frightening for the child if you move too quickly so judge an acceptable speed.
