 title: '6 Things to Never Do When Potty Training Your Kid'

Common potty training mistakes include starting too early, when a child isn't developmentally ready, leading to resistance and setbacks. It's important to recognize readiness signs such as interest in the toilet and the ability to stay dry for longer periods; forcing training can backfire[1][4][5].

Inconsistency, such as reverting to diapers after starting training, can confuse children, hindering their progress. Additionally, using negative language around potty use or punishing accidents creates anxiety and negative associations with toilet training, making it more stressful for both the child and the parent[2][3][4].
