How do I start the potty training process?

Potty training is a gradual process that relies on patience and consistency rather than pressure. Start by introducing the potty seat, reading books about the process, and letting your child observe the bathroom routine, including flushing and handwashing. To help them associate the bathroom with the act, you can try changing diapers in the bathroom or bringing them there during their regular bathroom schedule. Consistently take them to the seat every 30 minutes, celebrate successes with claps or praise, and remain calm and supportive if accidents occur, as feeling wetness is a key part of how they learn control.
