In an earlier post, we suggested trying to make using a potty fun for your little person.
There are many potty toys on the market. Examples include the talking potty training Elmo doll. You give the Elmo a plastic sippy cup to "drink" from. A sensor in the mouth of the Elmo doll senses the cup and Elmo "drinks." Then a few seconds later Elmo announces he has to go potty. You help Elmo out of his underpants and put him on an Elmo-size plastic potty. The doll senses it is on the potty, and Elmo does his thing (sounds only; there's no liquid or solid coming out of this doll, which is good). If you don't put Elmo on the potty in time, then Elmo announces that he has had an accident; better luck next time.
Of course, you don't need to take this sort of elaborate approach to making potty training fun for your toddler. You can just use a stuffed animal and pretend that it is going potty on your toddler's potty chair or potty seat. Doesn't have to be a big production.
