Good to know
- You might be dreading potty training your child. We get it! But did you know that potty training has many benefits? For your child, for you, your wallet, and the environment.
- Potty training helps your child become more independent. As your child grows, they’re able to do more on their own. Their self-confidence grows, and you’re both proud! Your child will have more free time once they no longer have to wait for a diaper change. More time to explore the world, play, and learn.
- Potty training your child early is good for their health. Children who are potty trained during the day well before age 4 are less likely to experience physical problems later on, such as urinary tract infections, constipation, or other infections. That’s certainly a relief.
- It also makes life easier for you as a parent. You’ll have fewer diapers to change, which saves you a lot of hassle. It also saves you money, since diapers can be pretty expensive.
- Did you know that toddlers use as many as 1,850 diapers a year? Once your child is potty-trained, there’s less diaper waste. That’s good for the environment because it means fewer CO2 emissions.
- So there are plenty of reasons to start potty training your child early.
- Tell your child that potty training is something all children learn. It’s not only normal, but also something fun that you’ll do together!
