As a babysitter, I have always told parents that the success of potty training largely depends on whether or not your daughter is ready and motivated to start potty training. Most children age and develop differently, but once they’re ready, it shouldn’t be too difficult to teach them bathroom etiquette.
In fact, research has shown that some girls can start at 17-18 months, while others may not be ready until four years of age. So, if you want to know when to start potty training, you should keep in mind the fact that most parents choose to start when their daughters are between 2 and 3 years of age, which should be the age at the one you start too. Also, experience has taught me that girls can usually be potty trained faster than boys, and most are ready about three months sooner than boys.
I managed to potty train most kids to begin with by buying training equipment and focusing on 1-2 strategies max. With this in mind, you should start by buying a potty for your girl and let her know that it is hers. I always stress buying a real potty, rather than a canvas adapter, as these can be scary for both girls and boys at that age. Make sure it’s attractive and doesn’t look like a kid’s potty.
When it comes to potty training a girl, you need to find a way to motivate her to use the newly purchased equipment. Now, there are a few ways to do this, but we’ll focus on the idea of watching and learning. If her daughter sees him use the bathroom every day, she will quickly learn that it is a normal part of life, since children often want to do what adults do. This will surely serve as a motivating factor, considering that with age, your daughter will start to hate the feeling of being dirty.
Therefore, motivation represents one of the best potty tips for girls. Just talk to him and let him know how important potty training is and how it can be fun too (hint: give him something to do, read, color, or even watch TV). Most of the girls will take a long time to finish so they can get bored so they should also have something nice to do.
Based on everything that has been explained so far, from personal experience I can say that motivation can help girls go a long way, so it will also help them understand the importance of the potty and encourage them to use it.
