This is how I trained my three boys, it helped me and may help you too!
1. Introduce the potty to them, bought couple and left one in the living room and one in the main bathroom. I let them get used to sitting on it before explaining this is where they will we into it first. Once they got used to the chair position and was independently sitting down on it all the time. The next measure was taking them with me to the toilet every time I needed to use it.
2. I had a toilet chair for them in their facing me. Once I was sitting, they too would be doing the same. I had to make sure that the sounds or weeing was very effective, so this is where us mum's have to role play. Once finished (our business) then let the child see how you clean yourself - boy or girl, and empty the potty into your toilet and flush.
3. If you do have a boy child and is older enough to stand then you should pretend to teach him that action every time, but if daddy is therer too, then get him to go with child as well. Even better for the boy child to understand.
4. Make sure the potty you use is comfy for child and is always in the bathroom that the family mainly uses. Also taking THE SAME POTTY to friends and family's houses will help child to know that this proceedure continues. It may seem a bit of effort but will speed up the traing process and allow the your child to engage into the training better.
5. DON'T worry about the odd mistakes in between as this will happen and is only natural. You cannot expect the child to grasp this first hand. He/she should be heavily praised each time and if they do always make the potty in time, reward with a treat.
had a chart on my wall that was for wee's and poo's which my boys loved. I would give them a lollipop for number 2's and chocolate biscuit for 1's. This just meant they could see the difference in what they did, eventually. It took my boys 2 weeks in total to fully understand and confidently use the toilet.
GOOD LUCK AND SAY GOODBYE TO NAPPIES
