How do you lessen accidents when potty training?

Answer 1

I found the most incredible tool for potty training. What worked for my daughter and my son is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. My kids immediately climbed up on the stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. Kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use. And it really is wonderful having your kids independently use the toilet on their own. The handles make all the difference --my daughter felt comfortable and was relaxed enough to have easy bowel movements.

I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you

We're going through the same thing right now. My daughter will do really well for a day, then the next she's going on the floor. We started setting a timer first for every 15 minutes until she actually goes in the potty- from there we set it for 1hr 45min. My mother-in-law is a nurse and she says this is how they retrain their patients' bladder after surgeries. It's very frustrating, I know, just keep up on it- no yelling or spanking. We've also found that jelly beans, Skittles, or chocolate are good bribes for when she actually goes on the potty or at least tries. Good Luck!
