Maintaining a routine is crucial during the potty training process. Utilizing charts can significantly aid in identifying effective strategies and approaches with your child. Often, when facing challenges such as potty accidents, it may feel as though the learned methods are failing. However, documenting these incidents provides a clearer, more realistic perspective. Intense emotions can skew perceptions, making it seem as though issues occur constantly, which is seldom the case. These charts are valuable tools in recognizing what is working, enabling you to continue those successful practices.
It is important to note that there are three key phases in the potty training journey:
- Play potty
- Routine potty time
- Pull up phase
This chart is designed to assist you with phase 3. This phase is about following your child’s lead. This chart was designed to help you to track your little one's potty time.
