How do I get my toddler to sit properly on the potty/toilet?
A comfortable sitting position prevents tension and accidents. It's not just about sitting down, but also about having the right support and relaxation.
Provide foot support
Have your child sit with their feet on the ground or on a stool.
Why this works: a stable posture makes it easier to pee and poop relaxed.
Straight back, relaxed belly
Help your child sit upright, not slumped over.
Why this works: This helps your child learn the difference between peeing and pushing.
Don't let them sit for too long
Trying for 1–2 minutes is enough.
Why this works: You prevent the potty time from becoming a struggle or a punishment.
Make it cozy
Singing a song or reading a short book keeps the atmosphere positive.
Why this works: Relaxation helps the muscles loosen up.
Let your child see you on the toilet too. Practicing together lowers the barrier.
