Being a parent can be quite challenging at times, especially when you need to train a young child. One of the most important things parents can teach their children is potty training. Some people say that this is difficult and others also say that it is simple.

I am a single mom and potty training became a challenge for me because I also have a full time job. Although at first it seemed like it was going to be a very challenging task, due to the fact that I work full time, I knew it was something that needed to be done. I have a four year old daughter and just finished her potty training last week.

I never thought that I would be able to teach him so quickly. Fortunately, like most children, she was a quick learner. I used a simple guide that I had read online and now I want to share the ideas with you.

Three easy steps in potty training:

1.) The first thing I had to do was talk to her. It was Monday morning and he was cleaning her up because she had deserted in her diaper. While she cleaned it I told her that she was going to teach her to go to the bathroom by herself. I told him that little kids, when they become big girls and boys, don’t wear diapers, so I will teach him how to pee and poop in the comfort room. Believe it or not, I did not use a baby potty. I immediately introduced her to the comfort room.

2.) After the talk, I took her to the comfort room and showed her where it should be done. I showed her how to sit on the toilet and asked her to pee. After she did, I showed her how to flush. The sound of the shock really had an impact because she had fun pressing the button. I also showed him potty training stickers and visuals.

3.) I didn’t allow him to wear more diapers, especially when we were at home. Trust me, it wasn’t easy for the first few days. I was running to the CR leaving urine on the floor and poop waste too. Of course, there he knew no other way to do it. During her sleeping time, she also did not wear diapers. She would cry some of the time, but this is natural.

Five days later, I was surprised to see her urinate and defecate correctly. She would still call me and ask for help, but she already knew how to do it. She couldn’t believe that after five days, she had gotten used to using the bathroom.

The hardest part was during the night when there were a few times that he couldn’t stop himself from urinating on his bed. It was also a sacrifice on my part because I had to wake her up, walk her to the comfort room, and teach her how to use the bathroom properly. But it was all worth it.

For all the parents who find it difficult to potty train their children, try these three easy steps. I think it was easy for me because I took the time to help her understand. Talking really has a big impact when it comes to training your child. It is important that your child understands why he has to poop and pee in the comfort room. Knowing why he will make training faster and easier. I hope these potty training tips help you.
