You Can’t Force Your Child Into Potty or Toilet Training

If you can make the whole idea of using a toilet or potty seem wonderful your child will be knocking you down to get to it.

Well, not really but you do have to make it seem like a really good thing to learn to do.

If it all gets a bit smelly or unpleasant mum or dad is quick to take care of it and gives lots of cuddles and attention at the same time.
