This post and the accompanying giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Pampers Easy Ups. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.
Although potty training is a wonderful milestone for toddlers and parents, it can also be very stressful! But, fear not! We have some help for you. Often, potty training can seem overwhelming and when minor leaks or accidents occur, it can feel like a a disappointment. Luckily, Pampers Easy Ups help makes this journey a little easier by providing wonderful leak protection!
We tried everything in the quest for the perfect way to potty train, but, the truth is, there is no perfect way. It’s good to tailor your program to your children and your particular style of parenting. Some tips that worked for us are reading to the kids on the potty to take their mind off focusing too hard on the task at hand as well as putting their books in a basket nearby so they want to stay longer.
We had rewards like their favorite m&m’s, gummy bears, bubbles or stickers as they progressed. Special achievements included a trip to the toy store or an ice cream sundae. We had books specifically about potty training and we limited night time liquids.
While these all worked to some extent, I really feel that the most successful method is support and encouragement as well as minimizing failures. Make the process fun not stressful. Show your children love and they will get there when it’s time for them.
Training pants support the diaper-to-underwear transition for toddlers and their families as they have a more underwear-like look and feel while still helping to keep messes off clothing, bedding and other surfaces no matter where accidents happen: at home, on-the-go or overnight. New and improved Pampers Easy Ups work during the day AND night, enabling toddlers and moms to confidently and completely transition from diapers to underwear. Now, that’s something for kids and moms to get excited about!
Little ones will think it’s underwear, but you’ll know it’s Pampers.
Pampers Easy Ups have a 360° stretchy waistband for an underwear-like fit that’s easy for your toddler to pull up and down by themselves and they’re super soft, like cotton underwear, to keep your toddler comfortable. They also tear easily at the sides just in case it’s needed and dual leak-guard barriers around the legs prevent any leaks that can happen when your little ones are on the move.
A collection of Thomas the Engine and Dora the Explorer designs will help make potty training fun! Easy Ups is also now rolling out new Hello Kitty designs.

Tip: have lots of patience and understanding
Being consistent and giving lots of encouragement and praise is very important.
My tip is to try and be consistent.
One child raising tip is to have a routine and stick to it! That way your child always knows what to expect and you stay on schedule which helps their bedtime routine.
One thing I have finally learned is when you tell them something, stick with it. I had said things and not followed through such as with groundings and that didn’t work. Now, when I say it, I make sure I stick with it.
Be consistent with your kids. Make sure to follow through with what you say and keep kids on a schedule and give them responsibilities and do not spoil them

For older children definitely be aware of what they do online.
No private chat rooms, limited photos they can post, etc.
Lots of crazies out there. 🙂

Be loving but firm…they will not always like you, but they will always love you.
