Potty training books and resources
Making potty training fun for you and your child can be challenging. I am currently writing this post not a mom but I am a child care provider for 4 toddler boys two are potty trained and two will be soon. I wanted to have a place where all of my resources that I used would be in one place. I loved interacting with books fun you tube videos and other random things to make the whole experience of potty training fun.
I think often about Proverbs 22:6 “Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they’ve learned from you will be with them for life.” (TPT) or in the ESV it goes something like this… “train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
A great book! Is Oh Crap potty training!
Honestly so good with how to potty train stick with it and get it done before that 3rd birthday 🙂
Yes, yes, we are talking about potty training but honestly its all in the same lane. quite literally for boys in particular you do have to point them where they should go to the potty or your bathroom and house will start to smell like a boys locker room if you know what I mean. in a lot of ways potty training is helping children learn how to walk in more independence while also teaching them some self control and body awareness. It is a cool experience. anyway. Here is the basket of books I kept at the house I worked at, and I gave it to friends as their littles came into needing to be potty trained also. It is nice to have them all in one basket it contains the chaos. Then I had another basket in the bathroom of fun things, stickers, m&ms, party poop confetti, bubble, and lots of other fun things. This is not needed for all kids but for one of the littles I worked with we had to pull out all the stops, like all of them to make it the most fun experience ever because it was hard for him! But glory to God and his amazing parents we all made it to the other side and he is doing great.
