Potties And Toilet Training

T
oilet training is something many parents dread. When's the right time to start? How do I deal with problems? What many parents forget is that successful potty training starts with getting the right products.

It's all too easy for the cynical to say that a simple potty is all that's needed. There's actually some very deep psychological things happening when a child moves from wearing nappies. The attitude a parent takes is crucial but to discuss that is beyond our remit here. What we do know is that a child needs to feel safe and comfortable when sitting on the potty – ie the potty has to be stable and the right shape – not all little behinds are the same!!!

Then mother has the problem of how does she cope when out and about. When the child needs to go, he needs the potty NOWWWWWWWWW! Again there are products to help.

Eventually, there comes the time when mum wants to dispense with the hassle of a potty. Falling down into the depths of the toilet pan is a very real fear for many children – they all need a suitable training seat to feel confident.

The other product needed at this time are training pants – absorbant enough to contain accidents but easy to pull down when needed.

All this comes when children are around 18 months old – which often co-incides with the second pregnancy. Worth mentioning the word potty when Mum comes in with a toddler still in nappies.

As always, it's thinking about what else you can sell that makes the difference!!!
