Content: Prepare for potty accidents that will most likely happen in the house. Getting Your Child Into a Routine
A routine is an integral part of potty training. Ways to get your child into a routine include: On day one of potty training, start first thing in the morning. Most children have to urinate upon waking so bring your child directly to the potty to give it a try. You can try having your child sit on the potty every hour or so. You may not have 'potty success' but this can help get your child into a routine. About 20 to 30 minutes after your child eats a meal, have him or her sit on the potty. That is approximately how long it takes for your child to feel the urge to use the bathroom after eating. If nothing happens on the potty, that's okay.
