Potty training can be a frustrating chore for both you and your child. If you are having problems with potty training such as resistance that leads to a power struggle between you and your toddler, you may want to consider easing up on the training for a short time.
Most parents really want to get their child potty trained so they can stop purchasing nappies or so the child can enter preschool. But pressuring the child when they are not ready is counterproductive. Your child will only resist more and your frustration will increase. It’s best to take a few weeks off and try again when your toddler is less negative, and after you have regained your patience.
