Potty training is the move to becoming a big kid from a little kid. It is a huge step for children. Don’t confuse them by switching from diapers to training pants and back again. Stay with the training pants once you start. It is okay if this takes a while to accomplish because it is a transitioning period that takes time. Some children take years to get to total independence in going to the bathroom on their own all the time. Your patience and guidance will make it easier for the child.
