Don't force things and let it be baby!

Is your baby enrolled in nursery or nanny? This aspect can favor the pressure of certain children for potty training. However, your role as parents is to trust your child and not rush him. Talk to her regularly about the potty or toilet seat risers readily available on the market, showing her how to use them "just in case". Also show him how to remove his diaper by himself, and offer games (stickers, fun activities in the toilet, etc.) to encourage him to go alone and ask. If you fall in the summer, don't hesitate to leave him without a diaper:some accidents are not uncommon, but baby will quickly understand what going to the toilet is! And of course if all that doesn't work and your toddler remains unmoved by all these tricks, he's not ready! Don't force him into anything. If so, it will rush and learning could be a real ordeal!

Go from classic learning to explanation with books:fun and practical!

Colors, picture books, little stories... everything is possible and children understand very well when it comes to playful activities and even more so with books! Petit Ours Brun, Tchoupi and other Caillou or Camille… open the way to reading while promoting toilet training. These little reading marvels are an almost indispensable aid, and will help baby grow, while explaining to him how to use his potty or wash his hands after his little needs!

Do not belittle your child or argue with him in case of failure

For baby, you as parents, you are an outstanding role model. It is important to accompany him in his various learnings and to help him to discover the world as well as to grow. Cleanliness is a must. Explain to baby that being potty trained and removing the diaper makes him a "big boy" but don't argue or belittle him if he doesn't get it right the first time! It might rush him, and he'll move on! Don't make him feel guilty and be positive in all circumstances, even if the learning process seems long and complicated!

Patience is the key word!

Learning is the basis of everything! Baby learns a lot from you and with you but also knows how to do it himself. Patience and kindness are therefore the key words to help and accompany baby both in cleanliness and in his daily life! Have a lot of humor and let things happen naturally!
