Tips

Content: You may want to offer additional incentives such as stickers or special activities when your little one cooperates with toilet training. Resist the urge to attach any negative reinforcement to the toilet training process. By reprimanding or scolding your toddler for accidents, you may set in motion a negative behavior pattern that will discourage your toddler from using the toilet. Handle any accidents without emotion, simply cleaning up the mess and helping your toddler into clean clothing. Tell your toddler, “Accidents happen. We can try again next time.” Tips
The Mayo Clinic website counsels parents to take a break from toilet training if the child is having significant problems after two to three weeks. Instead of risking any negative behaviors from beginning, it's better to suspend toilet training efforts and try again after a few months. Small children may have more success using a potty chair separate from the standard toilet. It can be difficult getting on and off the toilet but sitting on a small potty chair is easier for toddlers, states the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
