Children can begin potty training at the age of 12 months all the way up to 4 years. That’s a huge range! How do you know when it’s the right time to start working with your child? Well, you need to watch for certain signs like emotional readiness and the ability to control bladder and bowels, to recognize the need to go, and to communicate the need to go.
Studies have shown there are many benefits to signing with your baby. As young as 9 months old, a baby often knows what she wants but can’t communicate it to mommy and daddy causing lots of frustration on both sides. By teaching your baby very simple signs like eat and drink, she can easily tell you what she wants, long before she can talk, reducing frustration and raising self-esteem and self-confidence.
Baby Signs is leading the efforts to help parents sign with their babies and now they have come up with the Potty Training Kit to help you potty train your baby at an earlier age. Many children are ready to potty train as early as 18 months but just aren’t able to communicate well enough to make potty training a success. That’s where the Baby Signs Potty Training Kit comes in. Each kit includes a book for mom and dad to help guide you through the potty training process and has diagrams of signs you can teach to your baby. There’s also a DVD for baby to watch to teach her 5 potty signs and introduce her to potty training, a lift-the-flap book for baby to read, and stickers to help reinforce what a great job baby is doing. The kit has a cute potty train theme all children will love so it comes with a wooden train whistle for baby to blow when she needs to go potty or successfully goes on the potty! This kit is sure to make potty training your youngster easy and fun!
Win it! Win your own potty training kit. Visit Baby Signs and check out all their great products. Comeback and leave me a comment about your favorite product. Be sure to leave your email so I can contact you if you are the winner. This giveaway will end August 5th at midnight. I will email the winner on August 6th. This giveaway is open to people with mailing addresses in the US and Canada only. Good luck!

I am trying to potty train my 2 year old grandson and I’m about ready to concede defeat. The boy is just so obstinate, and yes I’ll say it, hardheaded. Potty training my children was a breeze compared to my grandson.

We are already doing sign language with our 20 month old twins and I highly recommend anyone to try it! Its sooo helpful for both baby and parent! They are both signing and talking a TON! Honestly, my favorite product would be the Potty Training Kit as we have just started to introduce the potty. My son is actually having some success while my daughter is more resistant. We have another baby on the way, too, so this will get lots of use!

I would Love to win the Baby Signs Potty Training Kit. My son is 18 months old, he has a potty that I’ve had him sit on a few times to get used to & actually use when it looked like he had to go. I have 2 baby siging dvds but the potty training kit would be great. I have checked out the site & think the carpet and bear are cute. I really like the potty training kit though…

My 19 month old son has been using signs since he was 12 months old and it has helped with him being able to communicate with us even though he doesn’t speak well. These fun bedtime, bathtime, mealtime, pottytime, dresstime books would be wonderful for him since he loves books.
