Are you feeling overwhelmed when potty training your toddler? There are many ups and downs that come with this experience such as accidents, stubborn refusals, and unpredictable messes. We understand that while this time is exciting for you and your toddler, it can also be a wild ride of emotions – one moment, you’re bursting with pride over their progress, and the next, you’re exhausted from setbacks. Below, we are sharing ways to help you in your journey and how Pull Ups® Training Pants can help with your child’s potty training.
Is Your Little One Ready for Pull Ups®?
- Longer Dry Stretches: If your child can go for hours without needing a diaper change, it’s a sure sign they’re able to control their bladder and ready to wear training pants.
- Toilet Curiosity: Is your toddler eyeing the toilet with curiosity? That’s another green light that they’re starting to understand the concept of using the toilet.
- Following Basic Instructions: When your child can follow simple instructions and express their needs, they’re ready for toilet training!
- Discomfort with Wet Diapers: Notice if your little one starts to fuss or complain about soggy diapers. This growing discomfort is a signal that they’re ready to move on to Pull Ups® Training Pants.
- Pre-Potty Dance: If your toddler starts doing a little dance or hopping around when they need to go, it’s their way of saying that it’s time for a bathroom break.
Model How to Use Training Pants
Next, show them how to pull those training pants up and down – turn it into a fun, interactive game! Have your child practice right alongside you, using playful, encouraging words to guide them through each move. Celebrate every little effort, no matter how small. This hands-on practice teaches the skill and pumps their confidence!
It’s also helpful to walk them through the routine of checking if they’re dry, reinforcing the idea that staying dry is the goal. Let them know their training pants are there to help them learn and remind them that accidents are just part of the journey – no biggie! By modeling these steps with a positive vibe, you’ll turn the introduction of training pants into a comfortable experience for your kiddo.
