Hi everyone,
I am a parent of a 2-year-old toddler who is currently struggling with potty training. We have been trying for a few weeks now, but we are not having much success. My toddler seems to be afraid of the potty and refuses to use it.
I've tried using rewards, like stickers and candy, but they don't seem to be motivating enough for my toddler. I've also tried being patient and consistent, but we still haven't made much progress.
I would really appreciate any advice or tips from parents who have successfully potty trained their toddlers. What worked for you and how did you handle any setbacks or challenges? Thank you in advance!

Hello,
I had also found potty training to be challenging with my toddler. One thing that had helped me during the potty training process was to create a consistent and structured routine. By setting regular times for using the potty throughout the day, my toddler was able to become more comfortable with the idea and understood what was expected of them. In addition, I would slowly eliminate the number of diapers my child wore each day, eventually not having them wear a diaper at all.
I found that communication was also essential to successful potty training. It was important for me to talk to my toddler and explain what we were doing and why we were doing it. By giving my child a sense of control and letting them know that they are in charge of their body, I found that this helped empower them and feel confident in their ability to use the potty.
It is important to understand that every child is different and what may work for one child may not work for another. Therefore, it can take time, patience, and a willingness to try different approaches to potty training to find what works best for your child. Hope this helps!
