What stuff do I need for potty training

[popsycal]

Apart from the obvious pants and potty!

I have a beige carpet

Any recommendations of other 'essentials'??
TIA

Tonnes of patience!

Sweety for reward? Or Sticker chart to have a sticker for each succesful shot? A room size tarpaulin to cover the beige carpet???!!!

lol
and lower blood pressure than i currently have i guess

Get one of those ladder-climb-up-to toilet things (Argos extras catalog).
Floor rags... I think Havana might have some going, heehee...

With my dd1 it was a major big deal, with dd2 It just happened. Pretend to him you KNOW he can do it, and dont doubt him or you...Make the hugest fuss over him even sitting on it, and just praise praise praise. Any accidents, just deary me that should have been in the potty, did you miss it..giggle..Good Luck!

well we just have a pot!

i gave 'cuddles' as rewards it worked too!

dd loved stickers so everytime she went on the potty she 'customized' it with a new sticker.

Racking my brains here cause I've just done it.

Lots and lots of pants, we went through loads in the first few days, and some I just threw away (couldn't bear to scrape the poo out)

I gave chocolate for rewards

I bought Gina Fords book - potty training in 7 days.

Patience, Praise and Potty, the 3P's for a Pee

lots of kitchen towels (paper rolls) to mop up accidents and make a star chart with a few spare stickers to hand.

moistened loo paper ? We find it more effective for wiping botties !

Also a choice of potty or child toilet seat worked for us - may let them have a hand in chosing them.

I found the porta potty really useful - still do
