Potty Training That's Better for Babies, Parents and the Environment

Up until the 1960s, 95 percent of all children were potty trained by the age of 18 months. Today, this figure has risen to 46 months. The problem with later potty training is that it's more difficult for parents, creates emotional and health problems for children and contributes billions of pounds of unnecessary diapers to our landfills. By bringing the power of the Baby Signs Program to potty training, babies can start toilet training as early as 12 months.

The Baby Signs Potty Training Kit has been field tested by parents with children from 9 months to 4 years old across the country with great success. Jennifer Macris, a mother of a 5 says "I potty trained my four older children before using this program with my youngest son, and I can definitely say that this is the most fun and effective program out there. It works."

About the Baby Signs Program

The Baby Signs Program is the world's leading sign language program for hearing babies. Built upon two decades of research conducted by Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn, much of it funded by the National Institutes of Health, the program helps babies use simple signs to communicate before they can talk, thereby decreasing frustration, enriching the parent-child bond, fostering both emotional and intellectual development-and helping babies talk sooner.

AMAZING! THIS KIT IS AWESOME!
We were ready to give up on potty training....

The very first time my son watched this DVD, he headed out of the room saying "In a Hurry, In a Hurry, Toot Toot" and straight to the potty he went! We were so excited, we had tried so many things and nothing had worked thus far. He LOVES Trains! He Loves Signing! This was perfect for him. When he is finished useing the potty he blows his whistle loud and proud!!

My favorite part of this whole kit was when they showed the kids on the train no longer wearing diapers/pullups but wearing UNDERPANTS! This helped my son realize that this is how you become a big kid, he hasn't wore pullups since the first time he watched this. We went to the store and bought some more special big kid underwear and he loved it.

The book is layed out amazing, very simple reading with plenty of info to help guide you along the way. The stickers, well what can I say about them, the kids LOVE showing off their stickers to all their little friends.

Where was this kit 10 years ago with my first!? LOL I am so glad it has arrived=)

Another sensible way to be green!
Be kind to mother nature - being potty trained earlier saves many paper diapers from going into the landfill (not to mention the water that is used to produce those diapers) and also saves water if you use cloth diapers.

For a first-time parent, potty training seems a daunting task but since our daughter was trained by 30 months, I was already open to the idea of earlier potty training. Ideally I would have liked to never have had our son in diapers in the first place, going the Elimination Communication route, but that does not fit our lifestyle so this is the next best thing. Ask anyone who remembers the days before paper (disposable) diapers were around - not all that long ago! - and they'll tell you how kids were trained earlier than they are nowadays.

There are many books about potty training but this stands out as it is a very comprehensive kit, comprising of a parent guide, a DVD to enjoy together with songs and signs, a train whistle (either to alert your child when it's time to go or letting them blow on it themselves to help nature along, or to celebrate a success), stickers, and a lift-the-flap board book also showing the signs.

Any why before the age of 2? These days, children are being potty trained later and later, meaning more profits for the paper diaper industry. By 18 months, it is generally agreed, a child can be physiologically ready, but s/he is still very open to new routines. Why not take advantage, before the "terrible two's" set in!

We already were signing with our son so it was not a big jump to add this to our routine. He loves the Diaper Doodles(tm) - the animated babies on the "Potty Train" DVD included in the kit. So far, we are still on our journey to "big kid underwear" but with the support and knowledge we've gained using this kit, it's a fun and exciting experience.

Best Potty Training Program
Every time I realize I don't have to change another dirty diaper I think about how grateful I am to the Baby Signs Potty Training Program. We started the program about 10 weeks before our son's second birthday. We were somewhat skeptical about whether we could potty train before two, but we followed the program. Our son wore "big boy underwear" to his second birthday party. Now, we smile with amazement and joy when our son shakes his hand with his thumb between his pointer and middle finger (the sign for potty) in front of our faces and then of course we move deliberately to the potty singing, "climb on board the potty train!" We keep the whistle in our bathroom and our son loves to blow the whistle acknowledging his accomplishment.
