New daycare/baby sitter - If your child has recently switched day cares or baby-sitters, wait a couple of weeks/months (depending on how your child adapts) before you start potty training.

New bedroom or bed - Small changes, like a new bedroom or bed, can have a big impact on your child. Wait until your child has adapted to his new bed before you begin potty training.

Training Pants - Potty training pants facilitate potty training by enabling your child to feel that he or she is wet. Diapers draw moisture away from your child's skin and make learning to recognize need to poop or pee difficult. Training pants allow your child to feel wetness while protecting everything else from leaks.

Potty Training Incentives - Rewards and incentives such as stickers, snacks, and certificates can be great potty training tools. They work especially well for children who understand basics but need an incentive to stop what they are doing and sit on potty.
