Now, after ensuring all this, you can use any of these tried and tested potty training tips by real moms. The last tip is widely recommended and 99% fail proof!

Most kids treat their toys as 'real' things, feeding, bathing, dressing and playing with them. So why not use the toys to help in potty training too. Take the toys to the potty and tell your child that you can pee or poop together. If feeling fancy, you can also get one those pee-poo dolls.

If like my child yours is a bookworm too, then get one of the potty books easily available. I have one that plays the sound of toilet flushing, which fascinates my daughter. Needless to say, we have to read the book multiple times through the day!

Most moms agree that bribing is a good way of getting the kids to use the potty. You can get a pack of skin-safe temporary tattoos that your child can collect after using the potty successfully for say 5 times.
5/6
If you don't like the idea of tattoos, you can use stickers the same way. Which child does not like stickers! You can designate a space on the fridge or make a chart where she can collect all the stickers.

The most recommended tip is to have a rewards chart, where you put a star, smiley or whatever your child prefers every time she uses the toilet. After a successful week, you can then gift her something.
