Potty training

WHEN THEY ARE READY, note I said, when THEY are ready not when YOU are ready, it shouldn't take more than a weekend of concentrated effort. If you just do them as if you were training a puppy, if you know how to do that right, it won't take a weekend. Take them to the potty when they wake up and after eating and about every 30 minutes otherwise. Best to do during warm weather for obvious reasons. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything else, frankly, just know that they will when they are ready but don't be afraid to help them understand what they are to do. After all, wouldn't you rather wear cute panties /underpants than those big ole plastic things. They will love it when they get the idea. If they don't seem to be getting it, back off and wait a week or two and try again. I usually found that a good signal of when to begin was when they wake up with a dry diaper. Of course, make a big deal of success and certainly, never, never scold. You wouldn't do that though, I know. Good luck...
