Are any of you in the throes of potty training? Thankfully I’m through that stage with my kids (not to rub it in, but YAY!), but I remember those days well. Some days you need all the help (and patience) you can get. My friend Angela at Written by Mama made this awesome Potty Prize Box to help keep her son motivated on the road to potty success. I love it! And she’s invited me to join her in giving away a fantastic Potty Training Prize pack to one of our lucky readers.
Here’s the prize:
- 1 package of Pull-ups training pants in gender style and size of choice.
- 1 potty training chart
- Sheet of stickers
- Coupon book
- 1 package of Kandoo Wipes
You must be 18 years of age or older to win this prize and a resident of the lower 48 US states. You must complete the mandatory entry in order to be eligible to win. The giveaway will ends at 10pm ET on Febraury 28, 2013. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to Angela’s email (angela@writtenbymama.com) or a new winner will have to be chosen in their place.
Good luck (both with the giveaway AND the potty training)!

using fruit loops for little boys, they love the different colors!
Cassandra Eastman says
Just to have a lot of patience and wait until you know they are ready. Trust me, you’ll know! 🙂 A little snack or treat is a great way to help them be more motivated!
Kimberly says
I was told to have my daughter try to potty every 90 minutes and immediately after drinking something. It really seems to cut down on accidents!
Patricia Wojnar Crowley says
Best advice for me was “Be Consistant and stay positive!”
Lori Thomas says
Have patience and always be consistent, accidents will happen no big deal
Karen Coelho says
Patience, praise and consistancy. Never be negative and stay positive.
Patti says
All my friends tell me “don’t rush little boys “!
Maralea says
You need to be consistent and very patient 🙂
Joyce says
DON’T FORCE YOUR CHILD TO START, LET THEM START WHEN THEY ARE READY
Sarah Walker says
Have patience and don’t rush your child.
karen says
Wait until they are ready. Have patience and find what motivates each child.
Joanne says
My best advice is don’t force it! When they’re ready to go on the potty, they’ll go! We also use bribery-M&M’s have worked well with our oldest 3:)
cindy jones says
wait until they are ready..dont worry about others who say think the should already be potty trained….its so much easier and quicker when your child wants to potty train
Kristen h says
Thanks so much!!!! Love these. I agree do not rush kids they will do it on their own. They will not wana be in diapers when they are a teenager lol:)
Angela P says
Wait until they are ready, don’t push them.
beth autry says
don’t start to potty train when others stressful things are going on in the child’s life.
holly says
patience patience patience!!! 🙂 and make a huge deal out of it when they go potty, lots of praise! 🙂
Heather Paulding says
We have been in potty training boot camp for about a week. Best advice was to give up. Do not drive yourself crazy let your child tell you when he is ready:)
Kelli Joyce says
Be consistent. Stick with it, it will get better.
Gianna says
I like to offer rewards and praise.
Jessica M says
We are just beginning with oir daughter, but since our son was potty training in Summer time, we let him run around naked in the house! He picked it up very quickly!
Laurie Morton says
Consistency and patience. Lots of praise. If they are not ready, it is harder. They will let you know when they are ready, and it is much easier.
miriam ibarra says
don’t rush and rewards always work.
Deb R says
Be positive! Accidents happen, and should never be punished.
dawn k says
Wait till you think they are ready. Then wait some more. Then wait a little more. Then start, and you’ll be finished before you know it!
Kerri Jones says
The best advice I have found with my older kids is to wait until they are completely ready. Pushing them to do something just doesn’t work. Patience!!!
Michelle E says
The best advice, I believe, is that the child has to be ready to potty train, and can not be forced to do it, especially when they are so young. The child can be 4 and still needs to learn to potty.
letty says
Best advice…they will let you know when they are ready to potty train.
Crystal Merrill says
The best advice I was given that I can pass along is to never be negative to your child about potty training. Their self esteem is still developing and is very fragile. Positive praise is a much better option. They WILL end up potty trained- we won’t be changing diapers for 18 years. Hang in there.
