A. Assess your child's readiness- I gave the readiness signs above


B. Buy the right equipment  buying a child size potty, it would also be good to buy a travel potty seat for you little one when away from home.

C. Create a routine- I keep track of everything on my phone, They have potty training apps that will allow you to keep track of times you need to go to potty and everything.

D. demonstrate for your child- Sometimes this isn't the easiest thing for moms to teach there son. Trust me I tried, but you can let the boys sit until they are comfortable standing. Or get your partner involved.

E. Explain the steps, they are learning how to use the bathroom. You need to explain the steps to them.

f. Foster the habit

G. Grab some training pants, I think that these can be used for bedtime until they get use to going.

H. handle setbacks- It may not work after the first few times, they may lose  interest or just not want to. Just start back the routine as soon as you can.

I. this will be harder, you will actually have to wake them up and take them to the potty. No drink before bedtime usually helps as well.

J. Jump for joy- this is always exciting for you and your child.  Celebrate!!!!
