Potty training

Any tricks on potty training? I read the book oh crap and have a kid’s potty book for him . Sit him on the toilet two times a day before bedtime and after eats. Sit for 4-5 minutes on the seat . But always end up missing it with in a couple minutes.

My most important advice is take it slow and let the toddler take the lead. Some parents are set on potty training before kids are ready and it can be stressful for both parents and kids. Don’t focus so much on getting them trained before a certain age. With my daughter we tried a few times when she was 2 and it was never successful. We tried again at 3 1/2 and within a week she had it down. We also only focus on day time potty training. She’s 4 now and still wears diapers at night. We did the bare bottom method

Put an oversized shirt on her and left her with no undies/pull ups/diapers the first 2 weeks. We also put the potty in the living room and let her go as she wanted. The first day I sat her down every 30 minutes but after that I let her take the lead. We high fived after every time she went and I made it a big deal by congratulating her and saying things like “yay” “you did it” “you’re such a big girl” “I’m so proud of you” also played the potty song by Gracies world she loved it! Potty training shouldn’t be hard or stressful. When you wait until your kids ready it’s pretty smooth
