Potty training can be a super frustrating time for both toddlers and their parents. I remember when my youngest son was showing the signs that he was interested in learning how to go to the potty. He was in daycare at the time and they started taking them at a very early age. It was all new to me because I was a stay at home mom with both of my other kids for most of their potty training days. I am a laid back parent and I didn’t want to rush the process and make it even harder for them to learn. Today, I wanted to share some books that you can use to help make potty training easier for both you and your child.

It is a great book and is perfect for explaining the process to your child so that they are encouraged to try using the potty too.

    I could consider myself lucky because I did not have a difficult time potty training my children. I guess it is just constant encouragement that they can do it on their own.
