7 Tips to Toilet Train a Stubborn Toddler

1️⃣ Stay Positive & Encouraging

Toilet training can be frustrating, but staying positive helps your child feel safe and supported.

✨ Try this:
✔️ Praise small wins (“Great job sitting on the toilet!”).
✔️ Stay calm—avoid showing frustration.
✔️ Celebrate progress instead of focusing on accidents.

2️⃣ Help Your Child Overcome Fears

Many toddlers resist toilet training because they’re scared—whether it’s the loud flush, the fear of falling in, or the disappearing wee and poo.

👶 How to Help:
✔️ Talk about the toilet and explain what happens.
✔️ Let them flush while standing beside you.
✔️ Validate their fears but encourage confidence.

3️⃣ Use the Right Tools & Resources

The right tools make toilet training easier.

🔹 Let them choose their own toilet training underwear.
🔹 Buy a child-friendly toilet seat or potty.
🔹 Use books, toys, or videos about toilet training.
🔹 Try a bedwetting alarm like Oopsie Heroes to support day & night training.

4️⃣ Eliminate Nappies & Pull-Ups

🚫 Nappies signal to toddlers that it’s okay to go in their pants.

✨ What to do instead:
✔️ Switch to big-kid underwear.
✔️ Let them feel the difference when wet.
✔️ Stay consistent—no switching back and forth.

6️⃣ Laugh & Stay Light-Hearted

Toilet training can be stressful, but keeping a sense of humour helps!

😆 Why Laughing Helps:
✔️ Keeps the experience fun rather than stressful.
✔️ Helps you stay relaxed even when accidents happen.
✔️ Creates positive memories rather than tension.

7️⃣ Give It Time & Be Patient

If toilet training isn’t working, don’t force it!

💡 Take a break and try again in a few days.
✨ Follow your child’s cues—pushing too hard can backfire.
🚀 Every child is different, and toilet training takes time.
