Hello there! 👋 Are you a parent trying to navigate the tricky waters of potty training your little one? Do you find yourself constantly on the go, trying to keep up with your busy schedule? Don’t fret, because today I am going to give you some tips on how to successfully navigate public restrooms while potty training your child. 💪

Always be prepared 👌

One of the most important things to remember when potty training on-the-go is to always be prepared. Carry a potty training seat or disposable seat cover with you at all times. This will not only help keep your child germ-free but also ensure that they feel secure while sitting on the toilet seat. 👶

Scope out the bathroom beforehand 👀

Before heading into a public restroom, take a quick peek inside to see if it’s clean and has the necessary amenities. You want to make sure that there is enough toilet paper, soap, and paper towels. Additionally, check to see if there is a changing table. This can come in handy if your child has an accident or needs a diaper change. 🚽

Keep them entertained 🎭

Public restrooms can be a scary place for young children. To keep them distracted and calm, bring along their favorite toy or book. You can also sing songs or play games to distract them from their current situation. This will not only make them feel more comfortable but also help them to associate going to the bathroom with positive experiences. 🎵

Choose the right time ⏰

Timing is everything when it comes to potty training on-the-go. Make sure to choose a time when your child has to go to the bathroom, and you are close to a public restroom. Don’t wait until it’s too late and your child has an accident. This can be a setback in their potty training progress and can be embarrassing for both you and your child. 🕰️

Practice good hygiene 👋

Teaching your child good hygiene practices is essential, especially when using public restrooms. Make sure they know to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet. Additionally, you can keep hand sanitizer or wipes handy for extra germ protection. 🧼

Handle accidents with grace 🙏

Accidents can happen, even when you are vigilant. Don’t let accidents discourage you or your child from potty training. Remember to handle accidents with grace and keep your cool. Have a change of clothes and wipes with you at all times, and don’t get upset. Stay positive and supportive of your child’s progress. 💪
