Schedules are great for many kids, but not all children like to stick to the confines of a routine. If you try to stick to a potty training schedule and it’s just not working for your toddler, try a different method instead. Allowing your toddler to set the boundaries of their potty training is a great way to give an independent child a little more control over the process. Instead of forcing a schedule on them, try allowing them to tell you when they need to use the bathroom to see if that helps ease the transition for your child.
