How To Potty Train This Summer with Pampers Easy Ups
It’s one of my “Mommy Moments” I am MOST proud of. My son was fully potty trained by age 2. Yes, that’s despite all of the nay-sayers that claimed boys are the most difficult ones to potty train. Cabbage Patch Dance commencing!
And the time is finally upon us. My little almost 17 month old baby girl will begin her potty training journey this summer. With no school schedules and a relaxed atmosphere, now is a GREAT time to start great habits! Want to know how I’ll be potty training this summer? I have a few of my BEST tips that worked for my son!
1. Pull Out the Potty Early
Parents, feel free to pull out that potty now. Give your kids time to explore, discover, even use the potty the wrong way! Let them know that the potty is nothing to be afraid of.
2. Be on Watch for Those Signs of Readiness
Does your little one love to watch everyone else go potty?
Do they run to a certain “pooping spot?”
Do they notice when their diaper gets wet?
Are they trying to pull off their diaper when they go?
Be sure to look for your child’s tale-tell signs that they’re ready to potty train! My daughter has already started showing interest. At a bright 16 months of age, she loves to “help” flush the toilet and hand out toilet paper (even when it’s NOT potty time)!
3. Have the Right Potty Training Tools
No doubt, when it comes to potty training, you need to be armed with the right tools! Besides a potty chair, having great training pants can ease the transition from diapers to underwear. We have a stock of Pampers Easy Ups on hand and ready for potty training action! What makes Pampers Easy Ups great for potty training?
- Outstanding Leak Protection – even overnight – so we can have nonstop summer fun!
- An Absorbent Core that holds up to 25% more than the other leading training pant
- A Soft Underwear-like look and feel
- FUN prints and graphics that your toddler will love to wear
4. Use a Method and Stick to It + Don’t Forget to PARTY!
Every child is different and only you know what will work best. Let them know that you are serious about potty training and aren’t willing to budge or cave. But also don’t forget to praise EVERY time that they go potty! My son and I had our own potty dance with clapping and booty shaking. When we finally graduated to full on potty trained boy, I let him pick out his next set of underwear and got him a small prize 🙂 Achievements and milestones like these should be celebrated!
5. Take time out to enjoy summer!
Don’t let potty training rule the day. Make sure to take time to get those kids outside and enjoy the summer too! Potty training doesn’t have to be stressful during the summer months. Have FUN and allow both of you relax, smile, and love!

Lori Williams says
Don’t push them before they are ready.
Megan @ C'mon Get Crafty says
All great tips! My son decided on his own when he was finally ready to master the potty, which was a good six months or so after we introduced the idea. Now that he’s fully trained, we’re have to start all over with the arrival of #2 next month!
Pam says
I so agree with your last one. Don’t let it rule or ruin the day. Consistency is key but you all so have to know when to step back and give it a break if everyone is getting stressed out over it. Great post!
Janel (A Mom's Take) says
My best tip would be to Be Consistent. I type this after cleaning up poop off the floor, lol. I’ve been potty training my son for what feels like an eternity. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Wendy says
No tips from me yet — I’ve yet to start with my girls. Double potty trouble, here we come!

Know that every kid is different and will learn at their own pace. For example, my daughter did not become fully potty trained until she was 3, whereas my son is only 16 months and already working on being potty trained. I definitely agree with showing them the potty early, let them familiarize themselves with it. And always make it a fun experience, getting frustrated never helps when it comes to learning.
Debbie Welchert says
Have patience and give lots of praise.
