Take breaks and be supportive

Let your child go back to wearing diapers if your child isn't able to stay dry. Also, try to encourage your child to use the potty chair more. Think about using a sticker or star chart along with rewards such as playtime or reading a book together.

When your child masters using the potty chair, you can slowly phase out the chair. For instance, you could have your child use the regular toilet with an over-the-toilet seat and step stool.

If your child resists using the potty chair or struggles to learn to use it for weeks, take a break. Chances are your child isn't ready yet. Pushing your child when your child isn't ready can lead to a frustrating power struggle. Try again in a few weeks or months. In the meantime, keep talking with your child about toilet training. It may help for you to read books or watch videos on the topic.
