Over the three days, you'll want to remind your child every 15 minutes to try and use the potty. This can be made easier – and more successful – by encouraging plenty of water, milk, and diluted juice. Extra liquids, which increase the urge to potty, is an essential aspect of training.
Every 15 minutes, take them to go pee. If they go, restart the timer for 15 minutes. If not, set it for 5 minutes and take them every 5 minutes until they pee. Your child needs to be naked from the waist down (we don't want to be fooling around with pants yet and underwear feels like a plush diaper, so naked.
Many parents and experts recommend that your child stay naked—or at least without bottoms—during the three-day potty training method. That's because underwear might feel similar to diapers, which could lead to accidents. It's also easier to place your child on the toilet ASAP if they're already naked on the bottom.
A lot of parents swear by the three-day method. It is definitely effective for some families, but many paediatricians recommend using caution with accelerated approaches to potty training and suggest tweaking the programs with a gentler, more child-led approach.
A: For some, the first day is the hardest and the rest of the process is easy peasy. For others, the first few days are pretty easy and then the newness of potty training wears off and children take a few steps backward in their progress.
Potty training is an important developmental milestone. But sometimes it can be more stressful for parents than it is for kids! Most children complete potty training by 36 months. The average length it takes toddlers to learn the process is about six months.
Most children complete potty training by 36 months. The average length it takes kids to learn the process is about six months. Girls learn faster, usually completing toilet training two to three months before boys do.
At the start of potty training
With my kids, I would see anywhere from six to 10 accidents on the first day, dwindling down to about three to five the next subsequent days. This may seem like a lot, but think about how many times we typically use the bathroom.
Encourage your child to blow bubbles or try to inflate a balloon while they're sitting on the toilet – it uses the same muscles you need when weeing and pooing, so will help them get used to the sensation.
After 3-day potty training
Some people suggest switching to undies by the end of the three days, while Fellom and Neuberger recommend keeping them pants-free at home for at least a few weeks while they continue to practice.
If, at the end of the three days, your toddler is still putting up signs of resistance, pack up the potty seat and try again a few weeks, using either the three-day potty training method or a different technique altogether. It may seem hard to believe now, but he'll come around eventually. (Really!)

Most children urinate within an hour after having a large drink. Use these times to watch for signals that your child needs to urinate or have a bowel movement. In addition, place your child on the potty at regular intervals. This may be as often as every 1½ to 2 hours.
Schedule potty breaks.
Have your child sit on the potty chair or toilet without a diaper for a few minutes at two-hour intervals, as well as first thing in the morning and right after naps. For boys, it's often best to master urination sitting down, and then move to standing up after bowel training is complete.
The three-day potty-training method is just as it sounds, a condensed, intensive, boot camp–style toilet-training method that happens in three days. Some parents choose to jump-start the training process in a weekend, but for many children, potty training will take at least six weeks.
Every child is different, but most begin to potty train as toddlers. In general, children have daytime bladder control by about age 4.
Potty Training Day 4. Day 4 is all about staying consistent and challenging her to ask for the potty. Everything is the same as day 3 with regards to my expectations. I am telling her it is time to go before events such as eating, napping, or leaving the house.
the gap between wetting is at least an hour (if it's less, potty training may fail, and at the very least will be extremely hard work for you) they show they need to pee by fidgeting or going somewhere quiet or hidden. they know when they need to pee and may say so in advance.
You may have been told that potty training girls is easier and faster than potty training boys. And for the most part, it's true. Experts attribute this to the fact that little girls tend to be more advanced in physical and language development and these skills help move potty training forward.
Final thoughts on pull ups
Pull ups are an extra expense you can totally avoid having to fork out for! But it's not just about the money. Using pull ups during potty training can really delay the whole process and confuse your child.
They're Not Ready
Some children are not developmentally ready to learn yet, while others resist attempts to learn as a means of control. Difficulty potty training may also be caused by a medical issue, such as chronic constipation.
