So y’all, I stumbled upon this amazing resource for all y’all parents struggling with potty training your little ones. It’s a FREE printable potty chart that comes with stickers for your kiddo to earn and track their progress. Ain’t that just awesome?
How it works
Basically, you print out the chart and stick it up in a visible spot where your child can see it and be motivated. Then, every time they successfully use the potty, they get to choose a sticker and put it on the chart. As they collect more stickers, they get closer to a reward, which you can decide beforehand. Could be a toy, could be a treat, whatever you think will motivate your little one the most.
Why it’s great
First of all, it’s FREE. Ain’t nothing better than that, am I right? Plus, it’s a visual aid that helps your child understand their progress and feel good about their accomplishments. It also gives them a sense of control and responsibility in their own potty training, which can be a big motivator. And last, but not least, it’s cute as heck. Who doesn’t love stickers?
Some tips for potty training success
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve been there and done that with potty training my own little ones. Here are some tips I’ve learned along the way:
- Start at the right time: Every child is different, but generally you want to start potty training when your child is showing signs of readiness (like being aware of when they’re going, staying dry for longer periods of time, or expressing interest in the potty).
- Be consistent: Pick a method and stick with it. Whether it’s using a chart like this one or some other method, make sure you’re consistent with the expectations and rewards.
- Keep it positive: Accidents will happen, but don’t shame or punish your child for it. Instead, praise them for their successes and encourage them to keep going.
- Be patient: Potty training can be a long process, and your child may take longer than you expect. Remember to be patient and stay positive.
Alright y’all, that’s all I got for now. I hope this resource helps you in your potty training journey. Let me know if you have any other great tips or resources!
