Potty Training Tips Including CVS Training Pants!
This topic is sponsored by CVS Training Pants, but all opinions are my own!
One of the most trying times with a child is during potty training. It can be frustrating at times, but it is one of the most rewarding times – for both parent and child. I’m excited to share some potty training tips that worked for me, including using CVS Training Pants!
My number one tip is definitely to be patient. Patience is a huge key because you can’t give up. The time and energy you put into potty training is so worth it.
Praise. Praising your child is huge because our children go off of our feedback. Even if your child tells you they need to go potty and they still have an accident, give them praise for telling you they need to go.
Never yell or belittle your child. There are going to be accidents. Lots of them. Never yell at your child – that will just set them back. You want to motivate your child as much as you can. Believe me, I know it can be frustrating but you never want to be negative to your child.
Rewards. When making accomplishments in potty training, small rewards are always a nice idea. For me, I would give her a reward, such as a sticker or a small treat, everytime she went a whole day without an accident. After a week without accidnets, I let my daughter pick where we had dinner that night. It makes the experience even more fun for them.
Use a great brand of training pants. You don’t want to continue using diapers, so switch to training pants, such as CVS Training Pants. They have refastanable sides, which is great because if they are still clean, your child can put them back on after going potty. They are stretchy, so you know they are a great fit. They also have a wetness indicator that will fade when it is wet.
What potty training tips do you have to add?

Potty Training was not one of my strong suits as a parent. If I had to do it again, I would just wait until my child was ready, instead of trying to hurry it along so I could quit buying diapers. I think waiting would have been beneficial for both of us!
They’ll get it eventually. Just remember, you spent two years cleaning them and changing diapers. Even though potty training is a pain, they’ll soon be taking care of it themselves.
You really can’t give training tips. Each child is different. Do what works for you and them.
5 children and 3 grandkids that are potty-trained…you’ll get there. Some kids take longer than others and it doesn’t mean anything negative about your child. Training pants are a huge help, nowadays.
I remember that in the beginning I put them in a diaper for naps and overnight. It made it easier.
Potty training is something that everyone has to go through. There’s no magical formula, just be patient. Remember, your parents went through it with you.
It’s hard to train when visiting. I found that when shopping or running errands it was easier to use a disposable diaper.
I’ve always enjoyed shopping at CVS. I can get an rx filled and find some good deals. Especially on sale items and using coupons.
I’m so glad that those days are long gone. I wouldn’t have the patience to do it again. Not at my age.
This is good to know. Thanks for sharing. My granddaughter is starting to potty train the grandson.
Patience. My girls had a potty chair in the bathroom as soon as they were old enough to walk. They also always wore some sort of “panties” over the diaper. I would let them sit there when they were still wearing diapers and we would talk about what it was for. We didn’t make it an event, we simply went there when I needed to go, of course they followed. They were so comfortable with it that when they were ready they asked if they could use the big girls potty. Then we talked about wearing “big girl panties” (training pants), without the diaper like mommy. They started for a little each day with just training pants. For trips away from home it didn’t seem to matter if we wore diapers at first since they started the potty chair with diapers and then progressed to training pants. The training pants became all of the time when they knew when they needed to potty reliably and when they requested. Please know that I was fortunate enough to be at home with my girls all day every day. This was a slow process with no pressure because they let me know when they were ready. I didn’t set the pace, they did. Both girls were trained by two years of age. We had accidents, but all in all we did well.
No tips. Just be patient. Mine were both trained, for the most part, by around two years old.
Thank goodness those days are long gone. Potty training is terrible. Especially when out and about. At times. you have to go back to diapers which can confuse a child.
We are going through this with my grandson,I’ve sent these tips along to my daughter,ty so much.
Potty training is pain. Some kids take to and others fight it every step of the way. I had one of each. Eventually, they get tired of soiling themselves and get it.
My girls have potty trained at 3.
Training pants are so helpful. I recommend them to many moms.
I don’t have any tips. It’s been about thirty years since I’ve had to potty train a child.
Training pants are a great alternative to diapers.
