If you're thinking about starting potty training, make sure you've done your research first. Have you gone over the signs to make sure your child is ready? Do you know if you're going to use a potty chair or the regular toilet? What about the clothes your child wears -- are they easy to remove? Many parents wait until winter is over since cold weather clothing can present a formidable barrier to training. Of course that doesn't mean that training can't be accomplished during the winter if the time is right for your child.

If you think you and your child might be ready, sign up for The Potty Training E-course. It's a seven day newsletter that can help you think about this decision and get you all started.
