Children are natural explorers, so providing them with experiences and activities that stimulate their senses will fascinate them. Remember that almost any interactive or hands-on sensory experience will have greater resonance than a cultural or educational video. Follow the philosophy of early childhood specialist Howard Gardner, who developed the theory of multiple intelligences, and orchestrate experiences geared toward the various types of learning: musical, visual, kinesthetic, linguistic, interpersonal, naturalistic, mathematical and intrapersonal.

The first step in determining an approach to potty training is looking for signs of readiness in your toddler. Most toddlers will show readiness for potty training between the ages of 2 and 3 years. Look for clues in body language, such as squatting or tugging at the diaper; word use, such as potty or poo poo; cognitive cues, such as understanding that the diaper is wet; social cues, such as the toddler talking about big boys and girls who use the potty; behavioral signs, such as responding to praise; and modeling signs, such as imitating parents or older siblings.
