Celebrity Potty Training Methods
Filed under: Potty Training
The final question posed to our celebrity mommy friends regarding their potty training experiences had to do with the methods or videos they used -- if any -- while going through the process.
ParentDish asked...Is there a specific method or training video you used when potty training? If so, would you recommend it to other parents?
Joan Lunden
Our methods are:
*Take them to the restroom often.
*Ask them frequently if they have to go.
*Cheer and give positive reinforcement when they ARE successful.
*Most importantly... when they're ready... they're ready.

Melissa Joan Hart
Pull-Ups makes a video that is great and full of advice. But I literally I used the "village" theory of asking everyone that had ever potty trained a child and tried every method until it finally worked.

Brooke Burke
The purchase of "Big Girl/Boy" panties/underwear was monumental for all my children. Being able to wear them like mommy and daddy when they are ready to use the potty was always exciting and positive.

We didn't use a specific method, per say, but went with what worked best for us. I think it's a personal thing. There certainly are a lot of different books and websites that have tons of testimonials and ideas, so I think it's up to you to figure out what works best for you.

Because Ashby Loves Elmo, we got her Elmo's Potty Time DVD. For ourselves, I have the book, "Potty Training for Dummies."
