Potty training can be a challenge on the best of days. I mean, think about it: you are intentionally trying to break a child’s lifelong habit of doing his business wherever he pleases! Going with the flow (and, no, that’s not a metaphor) is something that he has done multiple times a day literally every single day of his life, so breaking that habit can be tough to get right.

The days when you were potty trained and the days when you are doing the training are two completely different animals. Back then, there were potty chairs, toilet seats, and step stools, and that was it.

With the environmental, health, financial, and ease-of-use factors to consider, you might be at a bit of a loss as to what direction you should go. Once your child hits the potty training phase, you have yet another option to consider when it comes to night training products: Peejamas. Now, each method may not work for everyone, so it’s important that you research...

But as parents, do we ever stop to consider how this new challenge may affect our child? Indeed, potty training can be a very challenging and even scary experience for a child. Being sure to have empathy for your child as you begin down this path can help you, and your child, be successful in their new task! ...

Offering your child(ren) an interactive, visual reminder like that of a potty training chart gives a child something to look forward to, mark up with stickers or crayons, and discuss their progress with you (bonus!).  Join our resident mascot, Penelopee, on her journey to potty training success! To Download our FREE Peejamas potty training chart, simply right click the...

Your son is potty trained and you trained him sitting down (which is how I recommend to start off), but now you think you might be ready to help your son transition to standing. Where do you start?  Questions to Consider... First, how do you know if your son is ready to pee standing up? For starters, how independent is he?
