Potty Training Tips for the Busy Mom ✨
🚽 Potty Training Pro-Tips: Tried, Tested, and Toddler-Approved! After trying to potty train my almost 4 year old for a year, I finally found 3 awesome hacks that got her potty trained in 4 days! 👀
Here are three helpful strategies to make potty training a breeze for the busiest of moms and your little ones:
👩🏼🌾 Look at the Farmers Almanac “best days to…” and start on those dates. These are super easy to find online and they tell you everything from potty training to other weaning! According to the Farmers Almanac, the next best 5 days are March 29, 2024, April 7, 2024, April 28, 2024, May 5, 2024, & May 24, 2024
✨Make a chart - I had my toddler help me make a cute chart to add her stickers to. Not only did this get her involved but it got her excited for potty training! Hang it up somewhere where your kiddo can see it everyday.
🧸 Stock up on stickers! We went to the dollar store and let our toddler pick out stickers that she loved. In the beginning, she got a sticker for just sitting on the potty but then we started to give her a sticker only if she actually went. After getting her sticker, she was able to put it on her homemade potty chart.
Let me know below if any of these helped or what your potty training tips & tricks are! 💕

Potty training can be a challenging yet rewarding journey for parents, especially for busy moms. The key to successful potty training lies in understanding your child's readiness and creating a positive environment. One crucial aspect is recognizing the right timing. According to experts, children often show signs of being ready between 18 months and 3 years old, but it's essential to wait for their cues. In addition to the tips mentioned, consider incorporating fun and engaging methods to encourage your toddler. Books about potty training, such as 'Everyone Poops' or 'Potty,' can demystify the process and entertain while teaching. Role-playing with dolls or stuffed animals can also be effective, as it allows children to see the process in action. Make sure to celebrate small victories during our potty training journey. Positive reinforcement is crucial; praise, rewards, or small surprises can motivate toddlers to keep trying. Lastly, patience is vital. Each child is unique, and while one method may work for one toddler, it may not for another. Collectively, these strategies will ensure that you navigate potty training effectively, making the experience positive for both you and your child.
After months my son finally peed in the potty and it “traumatized” him so much that he won’t even sit on the toilet. 😭
