All parents look forward to the day their child says goodbye to diapers and starts using the toilet full-time, but potty training can seem daunting in a way they're neither of them is ready for.

It doesn't have to be an incredibly drawn-out process. With the right amount of preparation and patience, you can have your child potty-trained in as little as three days.

This is a major disruption to your child's routine. In order for them to make it through potty training in three days, they need your full attention. Find three consecutive days that you can devote just to this task. Put away anything that could distract you, and sit with your child in the bathroom. Using the toilet or their own potty, give them encouragement to help them feel more comfortable. You can explain to them that they'll be using the toilet from now on.

Even before you get them officially started on potty training, you can show them how a toilet works and how they'll eventually be using it instead of diapers. Look for picture books or fun videos about potty training that can explain it in more colorful terms. Whatever you do, don't put any pressure on your child to meet any exact demands.

They might take to it in three days, but they might also need a few more days to get it all figured out. Every child learns at their own pace, and they should feel encouraged, not forced.

Your child can build self-confidence at an early age, and potty-training is a great place to start. You won't know that they need to use the bathroom unless they tell you. So, this is a time when they need to use their voice. Tell them why it's important for them to tell you when they need to use the bathroom.

They're likely to have accidents due to not informing you in time. While these can be frustrating, they can help you better illustrate your point. When your child knows what happens when they don't alert you about needing to use the bathroom, they can better realize the importance of potty training.

If your child is potty training but still has diapers or disposable underwear like Pull-Ups, it's going to be harder for them to grasp the change they're undergoing. It might be more comfortable to have an alternative, but they're not going to learn if they're always leaning on a crutch.

Diapers might make accident clean-up easier, but they're just going to delay your child's potty training. When you have them rolling with potty training, put them in underwear and see what kind of progress they make.

They might have formed an attachment to diapers, but you knew they would have to start potty training eventually. Going through a few accidents on their way to potty training mastery is far preferable to changing more diapers. 

Potty training is a hectic experience for parents and children, but it's worth it.

All the accidents and waiting are leading up to the moment where your child can proudly use the toilet on their own. Show this to any parents you know who are currently going through or are preparing for potty training.
