potty training early
- well i agree you should potty train them at an early age but at an early age they dont just want to sit there and do nothing so you give them a book to look at while they are going to the bathroom and when they are done they leave the book in the bathroom

Potty Training Tips
- I potty trained both my kids when they turned ONE year of age. It was easy, took about 3 days each, and they never wet the bed. Waiting until they are older, 2 or 3 years of age, is in my opinion, WAY too late. Kids are easy to train when young, but by the time they have memory of "going" in a diaper, it makes it harder to break the habit. Plus, the expense of continuing to buy diapers after they turn one is mind boggling. Do the math, figure up how much you spend on diapers. Give your household budget a raise and make life easier for you and your children, potty train beginning first birthday!! It gives your kids much more self-confidence because it's easy for them to learn when they are younger and they are proud of themselves for that independence. I'm now a grandmother, and my kids have already decided they will potty train my grandchildren at age one as well.

Books about using the potty
- My daughter really responded to several of the children's books that show a child learning to use the Potty. She especially liked the lift the flap one by Katz.
