Potty Training? Here’s help.

Potty training.  What comes to mind when you hear those two words?  Does fear strike deep in your heart?

I know I felt a bit terrified when starting this process with our firstborn.  I briefly considered waiting until he was in jr. high…but quickly changed my mind when I thought about paying for all those diapers.

Thankfully, we are in that brief hiatus before potty training our second son.  But, I’m feeling a lot more confident this time around.  I thought I’d share some of the (free!) tools that helped make our first go-around a lot smoother than I expected.

  • Sticker charts were a life saver for us.  PottyTrainingConcepts.com offers free printable potty training charts in themes such as Cars, Disney Princess, Thomas & Friends, and Winnie the Pooh.  We used the Chuck E. Cheese printable rewards calendar for Griffin.  (We used our own rewards system, but kids can receive 10 free tokens for taking a completed chart into Chuck E. Cheese.)

  • We also signed up to receive this free potty training DVD from Pull-Ups.  Griffin loved it–he still occasionally asks to watch it!  As I recall, there were also some great Huggies coupons included as well.

  • Huggies also offers a free Pull-Ups sample here, along with a few other tips and tools.

  • Are you a little further along in the process, but still working on night-time?  Wal-mart also has a free sample of Huggies Good-Nites here.

How about you?  I’d love to hear about your tips and tools as well!
