We're going for it...

Attempt two at potty training is taking place this coming weekend, DD is 2.5 and seems ready.

I'd love to know your best top / piece of advice.

TIA

We found that buying a size bigger pants helped with the inevitable rush for the toilet!
And keep his shoes off if at all possible ( ie. Indoors, obviously wear shoes if you're out!)and buy some cheap slippers for nursery or childminder, as wee in expensive shoes is hard to get out!!

I have no other advice. Ds was awful at potty training, took us months.

Sorry, she not he !

In advance: Lots of toilet chat and demonstrations in our house. Lots of hype about big girl pants, choosing the pants etc.

On the day: Set a timer. No big deal if no wee in potty or if wee on floor, just 'oh well, next time'. She'll get it.

Encourage them to drink lots - if they are not normally allowed squash , let them have some as a treat. The more they drink, the more they wee, then there are more opportunities to sit on the potty.

Naively I thought we'd be almost mastered it after three days. You can tell she is our first child!!

She has picked Peppa Pig knickers and I got her to help me put them in the washing machine etc. I'll make sure this week I talk more about it all.

Thank you all for the advice, it's greatly appreciated.

It's not that naive. We were down to one or two accidents a day after 3 days. Do you have a travel potty? Essential if you want to leave the house for the first few weeks.
