Cooper's potty training is moving along. Though we haven't had any successful outcomes at home, we're told he's been going no. 1 regularly at school, and has even completed no. 2. That is encouraging news. We're continuing to work consistently with him at home. For a while, I was a bit anxious about his progress, based on some thing we had heard from school, and from the success stories I was reading from other blogs.
My wonderful wife, however, recently sent a couple of links that put me at ease. The Mayo Clinic even states that if a child isn't expressing interest in potty training by age three, that the parents might consider consulting a doctor for some tips. With that in mind, we've got a nice six month window, give or take, to make some great progress.
I'm posting two links below that provide some excellent tips on potty training. The Mayo Clinic provides broader, proven methods and tips. The second link offers direct submissions from parents describing what worked for them. It's a good balance of clinical and anecdotal information. Enjoy, and feel free to share any others you've found useful!
