You may not want to hear it, but I have to say it. Toilet training does involve some work on your part.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or guardian, it's important that you be there for your toddler with toilet training. It's an important milestone in his or her development.

I built this site to share my knowledge and experience about toilet training. I wish it had existed when I was trying to toilet train my two toddlers.

Learn about helpful toilet training products

There are also some fantastic toilet training products here that can really help you and your toddler achieve toilet training success. I personally know a lot of moms and dads who found these products helped their toddlers learn to use the toilet more quickly -- and made the process much more fun, too!

If you're not sure where to start, I have provided a comprehensive list of toilet training essentials that you and your toddler need to begin toilet training.

Do you need a potty or just a seat for toilet training? Don't worry. I tell you what you need to know here.

Toilet training videos are great to have during toilet training. Videos help toddlers understand what to do using words and music they can understand and enjoy. Toilet training books also help toddlers learn what to do by showing funny characters doing the "deed." There are a lot of books for parents, too, in case you need some guidance.

Sometimes, toddlers resist all your toilet training efforts. This can be very frustrating I know. But I have uncovered a lot of amazing toilet training secrets that will get your toddler "in the mood." You'll be astounded as how quickly they can persuade even the most stubborn of toddlers.

Don't try toilet training without preparing first

As I mentioned earlier, I toilet trained both of my toddlers. What a difference a bit of knowledge and preparation makes. With my daughter, she was ready to start toilet training before I gave it a thought. She did great with urination, but I had major problems getting her to produce a bowel movement in the toilet. It was a trying time for both of us.

After some late nights researching on the Internet, I bought her a toilet training video and book. These were some of the best tools a parent looking to toilet train could have. After reading the book and watching the video many times, she finally understood what I was trying to get her to do all along. We never had a problem afterward.

With her brother, things went much more smoothly. I was so glad I already had some knowledge about toilet training. Like his sister, he really took to the toilet training video and book. I had also bought a toilet seat which further reduced the time it took to get him going on the toilet. The whole toilet training process with him took less than two weeks, a far cry from the month and a half it took his sister.

I hope you can find some important toilet training information and very useful toilet training products here. While you're toilet training, try to remember this fact: It is estimated that a baby uses six to 10 diapers each day - this translates to about 2,000 to 3,000 diapers each year. If you're thinking what I'm thinking, you don't want to change one more diaper than you have to.

Hang in there. The beginners guides on this site will show you and your toddler how to achieve toilet training success quickly and easily!
