Decorating the Bathroom for Potty Training

Filed under: Info Corner, Raising Kids — Tags: , — rachel @ 1:42 am

When we started potty training our son, we decided to decorate the bathroom to make him comfortable with the surroundings. We thought that if the bathroom was visually appealing to him, he would be motivated to go inside.  My husband and I decorated the bathroom downstairs with all sorts of cute ducks.  We bought nice bathroom accessories with duck design like shower curtains, different toilet rugs, toilet cover and hand towel holder.  I also bought a rubber ducky and placed it on the bathroom counter top. My husband and I were so happy when all our efforts turned out to be a success because we were able to potty train our son in a short period of time.

Potty training is a great milestone for a child. I was visiting a blog friend earlier and read how happy she is that she has successfully potty trained her daughter.  I read that potty training for girls can be quite different when it comes to boys. I understand that proper potty training hygiene is important for both boys and girls but I learned that special attention are given to girls to avoid any problems with infection.
