Your mind set as the pottytrainer will make or break this process. Remember that you went through this too. Do you remember when you were potty trained? No we don’t remember, which is one of the basic reasons why potty training fails. So potty train as if you do remember! Remember that it was a huge change for you. Going potty in a toilet instead of in your pants is a huge change for anybody! How often do you change major habits or patterns in your life now? Recognize this as a big accomplishment. Just because it’s easy for you to control your bodily functions doesn’t mean it’s easy for your child. How do you feel when someone tries to teach you some skill that is really easy for them? If they get frustrated with you when you don’t pick it up quickly, this doesn’t feel good, does it?
