I am definitely going to have to put some of these techniques to use! My twin girls are 3 and we have been trying to potty train for almost a year. My 1 twin wanted to do it and did really well for awhile then we moved and she went back to nothing. My other twin wanted NOTHING to do with the potty. You would put her on it and she would scream bloody murder. They both did really well for a little while and have now regressed to only going in the potty a few times a week. We have tried a lot of different reward systems. New toys, stickers, money, and so far nothing is motivational enough. I definitely want to get them potty trained asap, so going to have to try some of these tips! Thank you for sharing your advice!!

I thought my girls were pretty easy too!! And it is very important to have that second potty. We have six. Two in the front hall (our bathroom is so far from the living room), two in the bathroom and two in the back of my car. Ikea sells a simple small one for less than 5 dollars. The big thing at my house is I just had to get rid of the diapers and pull ups. One of mine surprised me when I did. She was capable of it, she was just lazy!

Thanks for your tips! Now that I am consistent about our potty routine, potty training has become a lot easier. I also have a Potty Chart where I reward them with stickers. It takes a lot of strength and persistence to potty train, but I agree with your advice 100%. Before I kept a schedule I was tired a lot from cleaning up accidents. Additionally, one of my twins drinks a lot of fluids so she goes more often than her sister. One bit of advice I would add is to monitor your child’s potty patterns because some may need to go more often than you think.

We are currently potty training. I like your tips. I especially like the suggestion of using a diaper on the bottom of the potty chair when out and about. I was struggling with this before.

I like this. Our twins are 20 months and I’ve been hoping to start in on this soon. We already have a habit of them ringing the bells for dinner, we could just add in the potty and hand-washing stop to the routine. Just need a second potty now.
