Your Potty Training Adventure Map Resource

Each flip-card reveals helpful notes and details about the Potty Training Adventure Map milestones, offering guidance and encouragement as your little one progresses towards each new achievement.

Whisper Motherly

Whispering Woods:

Introduction to the Potty
Start by introducing your child to the potty in a familiar setting, explaining its purpose in simple terms. Encourage them to approach and explore the potty with curiosity, allowing them to sit on it with clothes on to build comfort and familiarity. Introduce training pants, like PampersĀ® Easy Upsā„¢, as they are just like underwear but with the added protection of a diaper, keeping your child comfortable and confident in these early steps.
Echo Echo Motherly

Echo Caves:

First Interaction
Create a positive first experience by letting your child sit on the potty during times they're most likely to succeed, like after meals or before bath time. At other times, Easy Upsā„¢ provide comfort and confidence as they continue their potty training journey. Use praise and encouragement to reinforce their efforts, no matter the outcome.
Puddle Purate Motherly

Puddle Pirate Cove:

First Pee
Celebrate the first successful pee with excitement and positive reinforcement. Establish a routine by taking them to the potty at regular intervals, especially when they show signs of needing to go, and remain patient as they learn this new skill.
Two Motherly

Two Lagoon:

First Number Two
Pooping on the potty can be more intimidating for toddlers. Encourage them with stories or books about potty training and remain very patient. Celebrate massively after success to motivate them to do it again. If resistance occurs, reassure them and avoid forcing the process. Easy Upsā„¢ provides the comfort and reassurance everyone needs during this transition, offering protection while they build confidence at their own pace.
Dry Motherly

Dry Dunes:

Recognizing a Day Without Accidents
Acknowledge and celebrate a full day without accidents as a significant milestone in the potty training journey. Encourage consistency by sticking to the potty schedule that works best for your child, and reinforce their success with praise or small rewards that motivate them to continue good practices.
Treasure Trove Motherly

Treasure Trove Toilet:

Celebrating Potty Training Mastery
Once your child has consistently mastered using the potty and stays dry throughout the day and perhaps even at night, itā€™s time to celebrate their big achievement. Mark this grand milestone with a special reward or celebration that acknowledges their independence, such as a certificate of completion or a special outing, reinforcing their pride and confidence in their new skill.
