Summer presents an excellent time to start potty training your toddler. With warmer weather, longer days, and more outdoor activities, it can be a more relaxed and enjoyable experience for parents and children.
As the UK’s favourite potty brand, we understand the challenges that come with potty training, which is why we’ve developed our award-winning range of potty products to support you through this milestone.
Here are some tips to help you successfully potty train your toddler this summer.
Take Advantage of the Warm Weather 🌞
Dress Lightly:
In the warm weather, your child can wear fewer clothes, making it easier and quicker for them to use the potty. Light, easy-to-remove clothing is ideal for potty training.
Outdoor Activities:
Spend more time outside where accidents are easier to manage. Placing a My Carry Potty in your garden when they're playing outside or using it during trips to the park can help your child get accustomed to using the potty regularly. Building a habit and a routine is key to reinforcing potty training usage.
Establish a Routine
Consistent Schedule:
Set a consistent schedule for potty breaks. Encourage your toddler to sit on the potty after meals, before naps, and regularly throughout the day.
Positive Reinforcement:
Use positive reinforcement to encourage your toddler. Praise their efforts and successes, and consider using a reward system like stickers on a reward chart or small treats.
Make Potty Training Fun!
Use Engaging Products:
Our potty training range, led by My Carry Potty, is designed to be engaging and fun for toddlers. Bright, friendly designs, character-themed trainer seats, and interactive potty training charts can make the process more enjoyable for your child.
Games and Stories:
Incorporate games and stories about potty training into your routine. Reading books or watching videos about potty training can help your child understand and get excited about the process.
Stay Patient and Positive
Be Patient:
Every child is different, and some may take longer to potty train than others. Be patient and avoid pressuring your child, as this can create anxiety and resistance.
Handle Accidents Gracefully:
Accidents are a normal part of potty training. When they happen, stay calm and reassure your child that it’s okay. Encourage them to try again and remind them of their progress.
Prepare for Outings
A Travel Potty for All Seasons:
Having a travel potty can be a lifesaver during outings. Our My Carry Potty is perfect for on-the-go potty training, ensuring your child has a familiar and comfortable option wherever you are. It really is the only potty they'll ever need.
Pack Essentials:
Always pack a potty training kit when you’re out and about. Include spare clothes, wipes, and a plastic bag for soiled items to handle accidents efficiently.
Stay Hydrated
Encourage Fluid Intake:
Ensure your child drinks plenty of fluids throughout the day. Staying hydrated is important, especially in the summer heat, and it will also give your child more opportunities to practice using the potty.
