Practical Potty Training Handbooks

When toddlers (or their parents) are ready to transition out of diapers, there is a period of time when life gets infinitely more complicated. All day long, tiny tots have to be constantly reminded to go to the bathroom. Accidents happen, especially in the beginning, when they are not accustomed to taking a break from an activity. Having a fun toddler potty placed strategically in a playroom, family room, or other common area is an excellent way to reduce the number of occurrences. Things become hectic, however, when it comes time to leave the house. Extra clothing needs to be packed in case the little one does not make it to the potty in time. Public restrooms, places that are ordinarily avoided whenever possible, become frequent pit stops when out and about. The most practical potty training tips and tricks offer sage advice to help parents navigate this challenging period of time with the least amount of stress and hassle possible.
