10 Tips for Potty Training Your Child

9. Don’t compare

Every child is different. If your first child potty-trained early on and was out of diapers after only a few days of training, don’t expect the same with your next child. Don’t compare your child to your friends’ children, or other children in her daycare. Some toddlers are ready at 18 months, other at 3 years—and each one is perfectly ok. She won’t walk down the aisle in diapers— really. Certainly avoid verbalizing any comparisons between children, because they do pick up on that.
