Be consistent. If multiple people are helping with potty training, make sure everyone is on the same page with the rules, rewards, motivation, etc. Consistency is key.

Keep a potty in sight. This way they know they are able to run to it when they feel the need to do so.

Let your child pick their underwear. If they are wearing underwear they really like, they will be more motivated to keep it clean and dry.

Offer rewards for successful potty trips. This can be whatever your child considers to be a reward. Maybe it’s a sticker chart or some M&Ms.

Stay positive. You don’t want them to associate potty training with negative emotions. If they have an accident just remind them to use the potty next time.

While potty training and at home, give lots of fluids. This will help them stay regular and want to use the potty.
