Potty training with the timer update

SpeedGlenn · September 2009

This is going really well for us *knock wood!!!* I've been setting the timer for 90 minutes and when the timer goes off, we stop what we're doing and try to potty. If he can't go, then we set it for another 15 minutes and try again. This has also helped me keep track of how long it's been. It's so easy to lose track of time.

I remind him all day, "Remember, when the timer goes off, that means we have to go potty." The fussing about getting him in the bathroom has reduced DRAMATICALLY!

Let's hope this is the trick. Tomorrow we have a b-day party to go to. I think I'm going to put a pull up on him just in case, but still do the timer.

Thanks for the tip! We have a time out bear with a timer that would make a great potty timer!
