As a parent, potty training your child does not need to be a difficult or stressful process. If you make an attempt to keep it simple, the chances of your child succeeding at potty training quickly are increased greatly. In the spirit of simplicity, we’re going to present a few simple potty training facts to keep in mind. At the end of the day, these are all you need to focus on.

• The age at which your child starts potty training is unique to him or her. Don’t get caught up in exactly when your toddler’s friends or classmates are starting, but focus on your child’s unique developmental milestones and tune into when they are ready.
• Your readiness and preparation to undertake this task is as important, or more important, than when your child is ready. You need to decide when you are prepared to commit the time and energy. Your child will only be successful at potty training with your help and support.
• You don’t need to overwhelm yourself or your child with every potty training tool and book on the market. The more you complicate things, the more challenging it becomes. All you really need is a few “big kid” underpants, a good potty chair, and a little education prior to starting the process.
• Over 80% of toddlers experience some type of setback during potty training. The odds are good that it will happen to your child so when it does, be patient, loving, and supportive.
• No matter when you begin potty training, your child needs to be physically and developmentally capable of starting. They need to be able to walk themselves to the bathroom, or communicate to you when they’re ready to go.
• Additionally, the more readiness skills your child possesses, the quicker the process will go. Potty training can take anywhere from three months to a year and the more capable your child is, the less time it will take.
• And finally, keep in mind that 98% of children are daytime potty trained by the age of four. If your child starts potty training late, please don’t stress. It’s going to happen eventually.

And there you have it. Simple tips for simple potty training.
