How often and on which days should we practice?

In the beginning (Step 1), your child will still be wearing a diaper. You can talk about potty training and have your child sit on the potty while wearing a diaper a few times a week. For example, on the days when you’re home with your child.

In step 2, your child takes off their diaper for an hour a day to see what it’s like. You can do this every day, but a few times a week is enough. Did they manage to pee in the potty for the first time? Then it’s a good idea to practice a little more often.

In step 3, leave the diaper off for a few hours at a time. The more often you can practice, the better. Do this at least a few times a week, preferably every day.

Is that going well? Then the day will come when you won’t need a diaper at all, and you’ll still have plenty of practice ahead (Step 4). You won’t wear a diaper during the day anymore, so you’ll practice every day. In Step 4, it can be helpful to have some extra time.
