I haven't met any parent yet that hasn't experienced some difficulty or setback during toilet training. But there are a lot of new toilet training aids available to make the transition from diapers to the potty ot toilet go more smoothly. Below, I've highlighted some amazing toilet training secrets and the tools you can use to make the most of them.

Dr. Phil Says Use a Doll That Wets

Toilet training dolls, like the Aquini Potty Training Doll, make toilet training fun and easy!

In a recent show, Dr. Phil recommended using a doll that wets itself to show toddlers how to use the potty or toilet. The Aquini Potty Training Dolls are anatomically correct and made from a high-quality vinyl. The boy doll wears and blue and white outfit and has a light blue potty. The girl doll wears a light pink and white outfit and has a light pink potty.

Toddlers Can't Miss the Toilet Using Targets

Toilet-Time Targets make the learning process fun and motivate toddlers to start toilet training.

Toilet-Time Targets are colored tissue paper that can be placed easily in the toilet bowl. The brightly colored tissue paper is cut into five different shaped targets. The targets attract the attention of any toddler toilet training and helps to focus on urinating into the toilet bowl. They are biodegrabable and septic tank safe.

Instantly Reward Success With Music

Tinkle Toonz provides positive reinforecement for toddlers.

Tinkle Toonz is a potty chair for boys and girls that plays "Old MacDonald had a farm" musical tune when your toddler meets with success! Sensor sounds for both urine and bowel movements. This potty is very easily cleaned - pour contents down the toilet and rinse it under the tap. This is a great potty to use when toilet training while traveling.

Chart Your Toddler's Toilet Training Success

Potty charts get toddlers interested in their toilet training.

Lee-Bee Potty Charts are colorful, durable charts with stickers that cling to your refrigerator and are designed to make toilet training fun for you and your toddler! When your toddler has success, he/she gets to put a completed sticker in the appropriate place on the chart. This makes your toddler feel in control. When your toddler is in control, it builds his/her self-esteem and encourages your toddler to use the toilet more frequently.
