There’s nothing like sharing stories and tips with fellow moms right? Besides our own mothers and books that’s how most moms get their knowledge. Each stage in a child’s life brings about so many changes and just when you think you’ve got one under control it’s time to learn a new phase. Potty training is this and so much more right? I was super excited to host a get together with some of my favorite moms. We came together just moms sharing potty training tips during the Pampers® Easy Ups party!
Prepping for the party was so much fun! As part of my partnership I received gift bags and Pampers EasyUps products to share with all of my guests. I love getting goodie bags ready! I get all kinds of excited knowing that each of the guests will have product to try and fall in love with!
Included in each gift bag:
- Pampers EasyUps product for a boy or girl
- $5 OFF Coupon for Pampers EasyUps
- Pampers Potty-Training Reward Chart with stickers
- Pampers Fact Sheet with Potty Training Tips
I think potty training had to have been the hardest part of child rearing so far for me. Well the sleepless nights in the beginning where easy either but this was tough. With the moving and all I really had to be strategic as to when would be the best time to begin. But you know after failing my attempts at making Ezra ready. Ultimately he was the one to decide when he was ready.
My friend K is definitely doing an awesome job with her son. He was so excited about the potty chart! There truly has to be an open conversation between potty trainee and trainer during this process. I want to say that was one of the problems with Ezra. He was not trying to hear me and he couldn’t communicate that to me. He’s definitely ready to potty train and very excited about it!
My friends were ready to take on potty training by the time the party ended. One of the most reoccurring conversations during the party was waiting for the child to let us know when they were ready. As parents I know once we get the idea in our heads about wanting to potty train that it’s time. But that wasn’t the case for Ezra and might not be the case for your child. Using an awesome potty chart like the one included in the goodie bags each of attendants felt that it would be a great tool to get their child excited. And you can’t help but love the characters on the Pampers EasyUps! We don’t want to get them wet!
My best tip is to wait until your little one shows interest. If they aren’t interested then you’re fighting a lost battle. LOL
And a battle is right! Thanks for your comment Kelley!!
My best tip is not to pressure the kids. They will let you know when they are ready. Still I would love to host a party like this, looks like so much fun!
I loved having those training pants that were easy for the kids to pull up. Consistency is key during potty training. That, and asking “Do you need to go potty?” 8,000 times a day! 😉
Sounds like a great twitter party! I could have used all that advice when I was potty training all my kids.
I think a Twitter party all about potty training is great! It can be a difficult subject.
What awesome gift bags! I love coupons along with a product; it means more for everyone.
Our tip was keep a potty chart and lots of stickers on hand. My girls always loved seeing their charts filled up with stickers after they went potty.
My best tip would be consistent. I found that it was much easier when my son had the same expectations at home, at school, and everywhere.
Such helpful tips for a mom like me. Thank you!
What a fun way to prepare for potty training and share some advice. I know Easy ups helped our kids make the transition.
What a fun way to share potty-training tips. Pampers are definitely a wonderful help for this lesson.
I agree with the commenter on waiting for the child to be ready. It’s great to give moms a chance to compare notes on what works.
What a great idea to make something that is usually stressful into a celebration. I wish I would have been as smart when I was potty training mine.
My wife will surely gonna like this kind of events (and the gift bags :)). Our son is kinda hard to potty train and these tips will surely a big help for us, especially to my wife! Thanks for posting.
Potty training can be such a difficult time for sure, I love that moms share their tips because we need to be together to help and support each other!
So much fun! We had a fun little party too, to celebrate potty training! I love sharing tips, and we use Easy Ups – so easy with the kiddos!
I used the pull ups when I potty trained my kids. These are great potty training tips.
In some way I can see the smiles and joy from all those moms who went and joined those events. It must be fulfilling to learn from one another, give and get gifts, and continue with a happier contented life with your kid back at home!
i love the idea of a potty training party. I think that would be a great encouragement tool for toddlers!
It’s been a long time since I had to think of potty training. I love that there is so much information and tips out there.
Easy Ups are a great tool for potty training. We used to put a few cheerios in the toilet so my Son would have fun using the potty and it helped teach him aim.
Potty charts and M&M’s work wonders in our house, and lots of patience 🙂
