Do you think it’s time you let your child bid farewell to diapers? If so, then giving your little one some potty training is essential.

Mother’s Zone brings to you some effective and easy to follow potty training tips to let your little one ‘do the needful’ on his or her own.

Tips To Prepare Your Child for Potty Training

• Make them understand: Nothing works better than letting your child understand the importance of being potty trained. Inform them about the need of learning how to use potty and let them do it on their own once they find the logic behind it.

• Appreciation is the key: Every child loves appreciation. Praise your kid every time he or she goes for the potty and does everything right! It will give them the confidence to do it without your help in the future as well.

• Reading together: Grab an interesting book and let your child read it with you, only with the clause that they will be able to do it while sitting on the potty.

• Let the music play: Play the latest Bollywood track and let your child playfully learn the art of using potty on their own, while dancing to the tunes of their favourite item number. As a matter of fact, some children may easily do it while you play an interesting tune.

• Go for some surprises: Give your baby something special, every time they use the toilet. From their favourite colours to a beautiful dress, or an attractive pencil box, there are many ways to give your kid the much needed surprises when they go to the toilet and use potty on their own.

When Is A Child Ready To Be Potty-Trained?

Even though there is no fixed age of training your baby about using the potty, still you can judge his or her readiness by witnessing the following signs:

• Your child does not need much help to button or unbutton their pants
• He or she shows an interest on using the potty
• Your kid has regular and soft poos at somewhat probable times
• Your kid seems to be uncomfortable with a diaper
• Your child understands when he or she is going to poo or weak

Potty Training Methods

• You can try one of these methods if you are wondering how to potty train kids:
