I'm sure most of you know we are currently potty training and we have been for quite a while. My daughter is very independent and knows what she wants and she does not want to go potty! It does get very frustrating at times but in the end is very rewarding. I am dreaming of the day I do not have to change diapers but until then we will continue to go through the motions even though we seem to be at a standstill at the moment. I love to try new ideas, tips, tricks anything to make potty training fun for her.
I was very excited to find out that Pull-ups and Target have teamed up and are now offering a very fun reward or incentive for your trainees at home! Right now you can schedule a free Disney character call! Where you can have Cinderella or a Cars Character call you child with an encouraging message! My daughter loved it even though she wasn't quite sure who Cinderella is yet she just knew she was talking to a princess and loved it! has it helped? I think it gave her a little boost but were still not a 100% successful but we are getting there!
Sign up for a Disney Character Call of your own – just visit http://www.bigkidcalls.com; or you can also visit http://www.bigkids.mobi on your mobile phone to set up a call.
And to further help you in your potty training adventure Pull-ups and Target are offering one lucky reader a $25 Target Gift card!

The best tip would be rewarding them for doing a good job. Maybe with stickers or a toy. Something small and enjoyable. Keeping them encouraged that they are doing a good job.

My best tip for potty training is keep a kitchen timer handy and set it for every 35-40 min and when it goes off make a game of using the potty...it worked for my little man :) Good Luck

My trick: Just take a weekend and go with it. Put them in some undies and clean up the mess.
I did this call for Miss Maddy and she didn't even know who Cinderella was. Tried to rent the movie but couldn't find it. So sad.

The best potty training tip I would have is to wait until they are ready. My girls were both 3+ when they finally got it. I think the worst mistake was trying to force it with my first one when she was 2.
