Potty Training Points

Every child is different when it comes to potty training. Some are ready at age 1, others not until age 3 or older. It can take over a year to complete potty training.
But remember:

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN!
(even up to age 6)

Never scold or punish a child for an accident. Children do not intend to have accidents and accidents do not mean something is wrong with the child. Children get distracted and forget to use the potty.

If there are lots of accidents, go back to diapers and try again later!
