Tips For Potty Training On The Go:

Introduce your child to public restroomsAdmit it- you don't like public bathrooms and they frighten you a bit. There is an etiquette about them that doesn't exist at home and that can be confusing to adults, so imagine what a newbie to the potty thinks and feels. Introduce them to the public restroom scene long before you start potty training by taking them in with you. This will get them ready for going comfortably when it’s their turn at the seat.The first time I had to take my son into a public restroom for him to use at Target, he was terrified. The noise of the toilets flushing frightened him. I wish I would have taken the time to restroom with me a few time prior to potty training him. Go preparedFolding potty seats, extra undies, extra clothing, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer would be in every potty training bag. Pack it ahead of time, hang it where you won't forget it, and don't leave home without it. This will make you calmer while potty training a toddler while out in public, which helps them get the hang of it faster and easier. Plus, it makes the whole experience simpler.I actually put a small potty chair in my car and still have it in their because we go to the park and other places that do not always have bathrooms. It is convenient and I know we will not have an accident if I have it with me. Make frequent stopsSure, they just went 10 minutes ago, but they may have to go again. Remember when you were pregnant with your little bundle of joy and you reached a point where your bladder would only hold out for about 20 minute blocks of time before you were waddling as fast as you could to the nearest commode? Remember that feeling and think about what your child may be experiencing. Even if they do not need to go, they will get used to the idea of going while not at home, which speeds up the process.It is also a good idea to take them whenever you have the chance just in case you get stuck in traffic or in your car longer than you anticipated.
