Using Timers and Reminders to Make Potty Training Easier

Timers and reminders can transform your potty training experience by removing the constant need to ask "Do you need to go?" This practical guide explores how these simple tools help establish routine, reduce accidents, and gradually build your child's bathroom independence. We compare different timer options—from specialized potty watches to smartphone apps—and explain how to determine the right time intervals for your child's age and stage. Learn how to introduce timers in a fun, non-pressuring way, and discover how to gradually extend the time between reminders as your child develops better awareness. With creative ideas for visual and auditory reminders that toddlers actually respond to, you'll find the perfect system for your family.
