There is a ton of variation of course - your kid is totally unique. But 3 is the average - and what an age it is! 2-3 year olds are emotional, volatile, and making amazing strides in their development.

And don't make them feel bad about accidents - that will only make the process longer and unhappy. Make it fun - with a fun Vintage Robot or Fairy Tale print and lots of encouragement! My kids sat for hours on the potty in our living room, reading books, chatting and just generally enjoying themselves. If your child needs a diaper at night - let them have one. The Potty Pant is not meant to replace a diaper, it is meant to catch accidents! And if you have never used a reusable diaper product - now's the time to start. Feeling the wetness will help your child pay attention to his or her bodily functions. That's why the Potty Pant is made with a cotton/hemp fabric inside - it's absorbent but allows your child to FEEL the wetness.Hanging out with the potty!This is a time of transition for you and your little one, and it's important. It's part of the process of a baby becoming a child.
