Everyone loves a treasure chest and most kids will do
almost anything to go to the treasure chest. Take for
instance I tried to bribe my kids with money to clean
their room. It worked for a week or so but it soon
dwindled. So we implemented the use of the treasure chest in our home. My
children are a cleanest kids in the world now. Well maybe not the cleanest
but they are getting there 
So with this whole potty training business approaching I thought what a great idea it would be to have a potty training treasure chest.
After all I am going to need some potty training rewards.
So I put together some items that I think my son is going to love and I hope in the process you will find some great goodies for your little one too.
Every treasure chest has to have some sort of potty chart in it. Here are a few options…
More potty sticker options can be found with a variety of characters to please any little new potty training participant.
There are also instructional potty books that will serve a dual purpose. They are a reward and an instructional tool all at the same time!
And with the Caillou products you can by the toilet seat and book combo displayed below.
If you need to concentrate more on the poop side of things there are books books for children as well with the well known and loved book Everyone Poops.
Besides reading it seem that most children enjoy sticking stickers on anything and everything.
The next product will be perfect for them. You can put toilet decals and appliques in their treasure chest and watch your proud child decorate the potty.
When it comes to potty training I think many parents just don’t know where to start. It is hard to know how to connect with your child to “get through” if you will.
Then there is always the argument what if he or she just doesn’t understand.
I have a wonderful little almost 2 year old little boy who told me yesterday that he pooped. Which was great but then he went to go hide because he didn’t want me to change him.
So now we are about to embark on the task of getting the poop in the toilet.
This should be fun!!!
I have tried different approaches with my 3 other children. Then it dawned on me…of course I used a different approach because there are three different types of learners.
Visual Learners – So these are the learners who like to see things and picture things in their head as they are thinking about it.
Auditory Learners – These are the learners that learn by hearing
Kinesthetic & Tactile Learners – These are the learners who have to feel, hold, and touch to learn
My son, I am pretty sure, is the Kinesthetic learner who is going to need some thing to do to get the idea of potty training into his little head.
So my friend turned me onto a book titled Potty Training in One Day by Narmin Parpia.
The book is an easy read which is good for me because I have an attention span of a fly. I guess I am that hands on learner as well because I would much rather be doing instead of reading…go figure.
This book also introduces the Potty Scotty or PottyPatty training dolls.
These dolls drink an wet-on-demand. The best part for me is that I am going to be able to model with the help of this doll to help my son get the concept.
We have some major events going on so the process will not start for the next two weeks but I am going to get all of my supplies to go with this great informational book.
All too often the sight of the dreaded public
potty is going to bring on the no way mentality in a child.
Have you seen the size of the hole in that toilet?
It’s going to swallow me if I sit on it….
So here is the remedy to the horrid public toilet.
It is the folding travel potty seat. There are several varieties of the toilet seat to
suite your little king or queen so they can happily sit upon the public throne.
The best part of these seats is that you can keep them sanitized and in your
diaper bag neatly folded up so that any public restroom can be transformed into
a safe little restroom for your little king or queen!
My little princess who happened to be two at the time was excited about her big girl potty.
Unfortunately, after mastering the art of potty time she decided that it was just too much work for her.
The little princess let mommy know under no uncertain terms was she going to use the potty. She needed her pull ups! Of course mommy did not want to back track.
That is where the Disney Princess panties came to my rescue. Little princess was not reprimanded for her new grown up decision.
Instead I gave her the new panties and let her wear them. Due to the fact that I purchased one three pack we had three chances and we also had three accidents.
My little princess watched me wash and dry her new panties. I pulled them out of the dryer and she pulled off her pull up. I then explained to her that Disney Princess told mommy that they did not like to be peed on.
Mommy’s little princess thought greatly, as greatly as a two year old can, and decided that maybe she didn’t need the pull ups.
Occasionally there was an accident but the simple reminder that Disney Princess did not like to be peed on was enough for my little princess to make sure she made it to the bathroom.
And for that little prince who might just need a little of the same encouragement you should try super hero or Character underwear for boys.
He is sure to take flight on his potty training just like a real super hero!
