20 Best-Ever Potty Training Tips
Trust us -- we know these top tips work! We tapped the experts -- Parents.com readers, who swear by each and every one.
Are you counting down the days to the toilet transition? Or maybe you've already dabbled in a few less-than-successful attempts? Either way, we heard one thing again and again: Your kid has to be good and ready. And don't worry, he will be someday. "No child is going to graduate high school in diapers," says Carol Stevenson, a mom of three from Stevenson Ranch, California, who trained each one at a different age. "But it's so easy to get hung up and worried that your child's a certain age and not there yet, which adds so much pressure and turns it into a battle." Once you're convinced your kid's ready to ditch the diapers (watch for signs like showing an interest in the bathroom, telling you when she has to go, or wanting to be changed promptly after pooping), try any of these tricks to make it easier.

My daughter is 21 mo. She¿s been using the potty since she was 18 mo. HOWEVER, she is not potty trained! She goes when she wants to go. She will go in the potty, then go in her pull up. We decided to get her the training panties, and a "Potty Prize" jar. We use the panties at home pull ups away and at school. She is going to the potty more and more and I am down to using 3-5 pull ups a day!
12/13/2010 12:27:02 PM Report AbuseMy son is 21 months and he now says poop once he's already gone in his diaper. Do you think that is a sign that he is ready to be potty trained?
11/9/2010 08:32:39 PM Report AbuseMy daughter is 22 months and we started potty training. She will peepee and doodoo in the toilet if we tell her to go to the bathroom but she will rip off her pullup and do it on the bathroom floor. Any suggestions on training her to go in the potty.
