1. Read a book
See if your mini will sit through their favorite book while sitting on the potty. If that works we recommend moving to potty training-themed books like ; ”potty training with ELMO” ” Potty princess” “ Potty Superhero” “ Daniel goes to the potty” “ Everyone poops”. All can be found on Amazon.co
2. Purchase a potty watch
This helps mommy & mini remember when it’s time to try again. It’s get kids excited about potty time. We suggest having your mini go to the store with you to purchase it. Allow her to pick out the color and carry it to the register.

Mini take pride in being independent. Your mini will love setting the timer and will quickly learn they only have to sit until the timer goes off ( and then we celebrate).

Gather a tiny table and place a few of you mini's favorites on it for a good distraction during potty time. This method is best done during the time you mini normally has a BM or wets his diaper.
