The article below talks about the basics of toilet training in a succinct manner which is easy to remember, literally the ABCs of toilet training. A : Appraise the situation, see if baby is ready B : Begin with the right equipment, no point starting the training if you don't have the right stuff e.g. potty, training diapers, big boy pants C: Concentrate on consistency, no point having baby succeed the first time and fail the rest. It's better for him to start slow and improve gradually. http://sg.theasianparent.com/the-a-b-cs-of-potty-training-for-you-and-your-child/
