This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Pampers Easy Ups.
I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.
I've been told potty training boys vs potty training girls is very different. We aren't ready for the potty training stage yet with my daughter, but my son took to it easily once he was on board with it. It took him a while to want to try, but these new styles of Easy Ups from Pampers would have been a huge help back then. He absolutely loved Thomas and all things trains, so the designs definitely catch the eye of little boys who love everything with wheels like my nephew. My nephew is two and a half, and all boy. Like most two year olds he is very busy. When it comes to potty training, he needed training underwear that won't slow him down.
Here's some great tips for getting started.
There's no excitement quite like the excitement of the first time your little guy (or gal) goes on the potty. I can still remember the day I thought the Booper was fully trained simply because he went the afternoon without accidents. It wasn't the end of training, but it was a great start. We found training underwear to help when we were out of the house and especially at bed time. Bed time was our problem time, even long after he was able to go all day with no accidents he didn't wake in the night when he needed to go. Training underwear really helped us get through those nights without losing the confidence of all our daytime success!
Pampers Easy Ups are available in sizes 2T/3T, 3T/4T, and 4T/5T and now feature super soft material making them feel more like cotton underwear.

I find using a reward system is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteMy potty training tip is to use a good reward system that would excite your child, like earning 1 M&M for each potty success to keep them motivated. I would use the gift card on toys for my grandson's birthday coming up.
ReplyDeleteMy potty training tip isn't really all that great and original, but one of common sense and knowledge...be and stay consistent!
ReplyDeleteFor boys, use Cheerios as potty targets.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were potty training our son, we found that letting him follow Daddy to the restroom really encouraged him. He wanted to be a "big boy"! If I won, I would use the gift card on groceries.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tip is to stay strong and do not go back to diapers!
ReplyDeleteI would buy diapers
ReplyDeleteMy potty training tip: use the old "big boys/girls use the potty" trick. :)
ReplyDeleteI would use the GC towards a new pair of running shoes!
I'd buy things needed for my kids for winter if I won. My tip is to set a timer as a reminder to take baby back to try to go potty and keep stickers, m&m's, anything for a reward
ReplyDeleteAlways wait until their ready, if you rush it it wont work. Incentives are fabulous and make a big deal out of little achievements!!
ReplyDeleteSticker reward system works great for us. I'd use the gift card to get school supply.
ReplyDeleteuse a potty the child likes and is not intimidated by; i would use the card for groceries
ReplyDeleteI just started potty training my son. He's proven to be a difficult one so I'm more in need of tips. I'd use the gift card towards things we need for the new baby due in a few months.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to get them underwear with their favorite cartoon character on it. Extra incentive for them. I would use the cash towards christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteMake potty time fun. I used a family photo and did voices for each person to encourage our little one. It created lots of laughs and worked!
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to make a big fuss and use rewards. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is just be patient and try regularly.
ReplyDeleteI would use the gift card to buy groceries.

ReplyDeleteI would use the 50 dollars towards winter coat thanks..
ReplyDeleteI would use the gift card to buy some running clothes. I am training for a marathon!
ReplyDeleteNever get mad when you child make a potty mistake in his or her pants because there will be many of them in the begin.
ReplyDeleteThe best tip I ever heard regarding potty training was to wait until the child showed interest. Nothing is more frustrating to parents AND children than trying to train too early.
ReplyDeletemy tip is to be consistent. id buy groceries with the GC
ReplyDeleteMy best tip is to use rewards to potty train! My kids loved getting their stickers! I would use the card to buy some craft supplies for some projects I have planned with the kids!

ReplyDeleteMy daughter started training her son recently. She bought him cute truck underwear which he really loves wearing. She also rewards him with a couple of M&MS.
ReplyDeleteI just started potty training for my little one few days ago. My favorite tip that I learned from other moms is using the reward system, like stickers or cartoon channels
ReplyDeleteI would buy some potty training diapers for my son if I won this awesome gift card
Thank You

The best tip I have is to not get upset when an accident happens. This is a big deal and a big change for a little one and it takes time. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI would buy cat food if I win the card.
ReplyDeleteI think consistency is the best policy when it comes to potty training and staying calm.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the middle of potty training and the only thing i can say is patience is the key. but I am loathing it

If I win I would start on my Christmas shopping. Thank you for the entry.
ReplyDeleteAll I know about potty training is patience, encouragement, and positive rewards. I have heard that you should try to remind the kids every couple of hours but I know that's not always possible.
ReplyDeleteAfter potty training 4 kids and now working on 2 grandkids, my best tip is relax. Do not stress over keeping up with your friend on your kid being potty trained. Stay consistant to your times and be patient. Make up silly potty songs to help relac the child.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to be super encouraging and silly. Make it fun for him or her.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest tip would probably be bribery, with something like skittles everytime they go! I'd probably use the money for Thanksgiving or Christmas prep. Thanks for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI would buy groceries.
ReplyDeleteI would buy something special for my grandson.
ReplyDeleteI would buy some Halloween supplies! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would put it toward our monthly Amazon purchase of paper towels & toilet paper for the household!
ReplyDeleteDont get discouraged dont give up.
ReplyDeleteMy tip for potty training is to always give praise no matter how small the success and have A LOT of patience! I would use the gift card to buy more cleaning supplies for the toilet. Let's face the facts, when it comes to boys, even after toilet training, they seem to miss the toilet often.
ReplyDeleteI would buy new books for my grandchildren's bookshelf! Good children's books are an investment in their future!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use the $50 Amex card to buy Pampers for my little one :)
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to use lots of praise. I would buy winter clothes for my sons.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to know the signs when it's time to potty train. I would use the $50 AMEX to buy groceries.

ReplyDeleteI am in great need of a nice new costume to get my nephew ready for Halloween. This prize would help out in doing so.
