Many children find it very encouraging to keep a chart of their progress. Charting is also a good way for parents to keep track of their child's progress. Here are some things that parents can do with their children to help prepare them for the actual training process. These things should optimally take place well before formal toilet training begins. Read books about toilet training with your child before beginning.
