Potty training should begin on a weekend or time when you're gonna be home for at least a few day to dedicate to the potty training.

When you do begin potty training your toddler you should take the toddler to the potty every 20 minutes.

Set a timer for 20 minutes and every time that timer goes off grab your child and take them to the potty and make them sit there for awhile until they go pee.

Toddlers usually need to pee quite often since they have small bladders and make sure to give them plenty of liquids so that there bladder will fill up.

Even if the child doesn't go potty when you sit them on the potty tell them they're doing a good job anyway and praise them when they do go to the toilet.

Eventually they'll learn to go on the toilet by themselves but that will take some time.
