How do I set up my house smartly for success?
A convenient environment helps your child remember to practice. With small adjustments, you make the potty part of daily life.
Put the potty in a fixed place
Choose a place that is quiet and accessible, such as the bathroom or living room.
Why this works: predictability provides support.
Make it attractive
Put a book or poster by the potty.
Why this works: this makes the moment cozy and recognizable.
Keep spare clothes nearby
A basket with clean pants and wipes nearby prevents stress.
Why this works: you can react quickly without pressure.
Use reminders
Link the potty moment to daily routines, such as brushing teeth.
Why this works: fixed links make practicing self-evident.
Keep it simple. The fewer obstacles, the easier it is for your child to take initiative themselves.
