Whilst on twitter a couple of weeks ago I stared chatting with Emma from A Matter Of Choice about how the time was coming for our toddlers to start potty training. A notion which we are both dreading simply because we don’t really know what or how to go about doing this for our boys.
So we came up with the idea of hosting a Potty Training Carnival – a feature where parents who have been through this important toddler development stage, could maybe offer advice of the do’s and dont’s when it comes to teaching our children how to successfully use a potty. Maybe some of you who are currently going through this training could offer your thoughts on how it is going. Maybe like Emma and I you are thinking it is time to start your own potty training and have no idea how to start either, therefore, using this carnival as a tool for learning like us.
We welcome your funny stories, your successes aswell as your failings or maybe an amusing photo with a story behind it. We would be grateful for any information you can give and would be prepared to share with others.
So please help Emma and I from Going Potty alone, and send us your posts to:
Jennypaulin@me.com and please cc emmamartin77@hotmail.com
If you could please ensure all articles reach us no later than Saturday 25th June
**Please could you also copy and paste our Going Potty badge at the top of your post – thank you**
Our Going Potty Carnival will go live on Monday 27th June, 2011
We will have a fab competition too.
Thank you and we look forward to receiving your entries.
Thank you xx
SO glad I found this! I too feel my little girl is nearing that time too but it’s kind of terrifying knowing where to start (or to be more accurate, NOT knowing where to start!) I’m currently reading up on the subject. I don’t intend to follow a manual to the letter, but I’m reading a select few to gleen the most useful bits. Love the thought of not going through this alone!

It is a bit daunting isn’t it!! Well let’s hope we get lots of support and then there will be lots of posts for us to read up on in 2 weeks time 🙂
